Syringe feeding

We've had in a bunny with really overgrown bad teeth. I know there some sort of food you can get that can be mashed and fed via a syringe. Does anyone know what this is?

Thanks
 
recovery and critical care.
Or if you have a pellet food you can mash it with warm water usually.. Ive mashed up science selective pellets before.
 
i mash up cheekys excel food with warm water , i mash in a bit banana as well to make it taste nicer , throw it all in the blender and viola , a gooey mess which he loves :D
 
I've blended allsorts in mine for the bunnies.
I bought the blender especially for them.

Grass soup was a favourite when one of mine was poorly (it had some of the straw coloured poo thrown in it as well). Find that I make them nice veggie mixes in the winter which they absolutely love.......

.......one of these days I will use it to make the O/H some veggie soup (and save the pulp for the buns :lol: )
 
I often use Science Selective which does mix well with water for syringe feeding if I have no critical care mix. When I am trying to get them off the critical care I often then wean them on to the science selective which they seem to love.
