d Daily energy requirements for puppies less than 4 months of age were calculated as 3 x RER where RER = 70 x BW(kg) 0.75Rabbits, both domestic and wild, have been fed EmerAid Herbivore for many years. These animals are known to have a very delicate digestive system and are regular patients in veterinary clinics and wildlife centers. It can also be fed in combination with other exotic Emeraid diets to a variety of species including box turtles, bearded dragons, skinks, chameleons, aquatic turtles, geese, many free-ranging songbirds, and hedgehogs* Our canine nutrition for critical care is developed by critical care veterinarians and nutritionists.
