You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

How many hours should you leave between each dose of fiberplex?

Well if you wanna space it even, every 8 hours. That might not be feasible though, depending on when you're home etc. How much does he weigh? Only 1kg? Tiny bun [emoji7]

It's just fibre, but obviously you don't want to over do it, is it 5 hours since you collected him then? If so I'd probably give it just before I went to bed, won't be the 8 but will probably be okay, I also think that the fact it says 3 times a day, allows for it not to be exact, I mean some people would do morning, midday and evening rather than every 8 hours I'm guessing.
Oh I love nethies! You'll have to post a pic of him at some point [emoji7]

i’ll try posting pics of him in the afternoon. He has instagram too if your on that 
.
He take it okay? My two that have had it seemed to like it, coz it's carrot flavoured [emoji38]
Idk if photobucket works actually, I use imgur for hosting, or if you have Tapatalk you can post straight from your phone
I'm not on Instagram, but a lot of people on here are so I'm sure they'd love to follow if you share it Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

. Next time try my method & see if your bun will eat it voluntarily. My bun loves carrots so i guess it makes sense for him to love a carrot flavoured food

Thanks Joey&Boo, so far he's improved a lot than before, he's eating his pellets (still not a lot like he used too but it's something
) and bits of his hay. I found that the fibreplex helps stimulate his appetite, he always eats something straight after he has that

Hey Graciee :wave:, I've just started a thread called 'My name is Toasty Roasty Fruity Nut' in 'Your stories and photos'. You can check out his recent pics there

Fiber plex is like a paste in a tube, whereas pro fibre is pellets - not sure what's more fibre, I'd guess the fibre plex paste tho
Oh the paste also has pre and probiotics in it iirc! I can't remember if the pellets do also tho.. Helpful aren't I [emoji38]

I've just tried looking at fibreplex - theres pretty much no relevant info on their website so I don't know how you could ever work this out. from personal experience my rabbits much preferred protexin pro fibre pellets & I think they made a difference (I was using them on a very poorly bunny). The fibreplex paste I found really difficult to administer & my bunnies spit it out. The pellets would last a lot longer too I think. Is this for little brko?
The paste is carrot flavoured and mine all like it actually!
The paste is more for if they have stasis or need a big hit of fibre regularly, pellets are more passive imo

Gosh, I had no luck getting it in Rudey or when Joey had it when he was poorly last summer
Always the way isn't it [emoji38] Clementine and Atticus actually willingly lick it up [emoji38]
