This stuff saved my 1 week old newborn cottontail
The media could not be loaded. This stuff is saving my newborn rabbit! I found a baby cottontail on the side of the road with no nest or mother in site so I took him with me. I started him on kmr because it’s all I had until this stuff arrived. I seriously thought this rabbit was going to die but this formula mixed with a teeny tiny amount of heavy cream saved him. He’s is growing and getting stronger everyday! The first photo is when I first found him and the video is of him yesterday! He’s even bigger now.

Life Saving
Wonderful product. I found an orphaned joey on my porch and he wasn't looking good. He had more fleas than I can describe and they were bigger than him. He was very dehydrated as well. I'd estimate he is just about 8 weeks so while he can eat a little, he needed real nourishment.As soon as I received my delivery I made a batch and it was the first time Stanly had lapped intentionally so I had a lot of relief.I tend to get several orphan possums in April and the rehaber is a long drive so I was holding out for another one that my husband spotted but nothing yet so Stanly is on his way to be with his own kind tomorrow and we are both grateful. Thank you!

Excellent product
I recently rescued 4 baby cotton tales. All I had handy was kitty formula. I was worried because most were loosing weight and not super excited about the milk. I fed them this new formula and they loved it! They wanted to keep drinking it, but I stopped because I don't want to over feed them. I hope the will gain weight with this product. Use it with the 1 ml syringe and the yellow round nipple to prevent aspiration.Update: The rabbits loved this milk, and in a few days they gained a significant amount of weight. I mixed the formula with probiotics and all 4 bunnies survived.

A Literal Lifesaver
A literal lifesaver. 10 baby bunnies were born in my yard since mama made a nest above ground. She didn't come back for what we thought was too long. The feral cats would have killed them all. No way 10/10 would have survived even if she did feed them but so far, 2 weeks later all 10 are alive and well and we'll keep them until they can be adopted out to loving homes.

Fantastic for rehabbing.
This stuff is like gold since there’s not much on the market that’s similar. I like that there isn’t much of a smell & that our rehab babies always love it!

Works for orphaned domestic rabbits
I used this mixed with KMR to feed 6 orphaned domestic bunnies. I had started them on KMR before I found this formula and the KMR has probiotics. I mix it 50/50 and the baby rabbits are doing well. All six are 26 days old and doing well. Like the others said, you will need a warm wet cloth to wipe faces after a feed because once it’s dry it is like cement and super hard to wash off. Luckily I have other rabbits so the babies all got some of the needed night droppings to feed on to help their hind gut develop. This is the second bag I am buying of this formula. Babies didn’t like the vanilla smell at first but now scarf it down.

Questionable Milk Ingredients
Per pro rehab facilities, very young opossum orphans should be on goat milk only - not cow. The expensive bag of powder I received from Fox Valley doesn’t specify the type of milk products used.The poor orphaned baby opossum I took into my care was found on his deceased momma who was decomposing, with 1 other survivor plus 3 dead litter mates .His sister was very weak & died within 24 hrs. But this little 3” guy rallied on diluted goats milk & applesauce while I awaited my above order (no local stores had suitable opossum replacer).He was wobbly but went from bottle to sloppy lapping in no time. At feeding time he was alert, active, hissing, & climbing all over my hand. He was peeing & pooping. He slept peacefully. I had hope! Yesterday this replacement product arrived to my relief. I mixed it per instructions but also blended in the goats milk & applesauce mix so it wouldn’t be a sudden diet change to his delicate system. Within 8 hours of using this product he began failing. Within 10 hours he died.My mistake was assuming the milk ingredient was goat milk. But since it’s ambiguously listed (no animal source referenced) I can only assume it was a milk product too harsh for “my” tiny Joey.The entire situation from the trapped momma dying in her nest with 3 babies (sealed under a house) , & the tiny brother & sister still holding on was a heartbreak.But to have hope for the little one wiped out after starting him on the “proper” formula was frustrating & tearful.I’m kicking myself for not continuing with what was working.The single star is needed for a review. But also for the Fox Valley not being specific about the milk source used for its product. Maybe an older baby can handle it, but not a very young opossum.
