Oxbow Natural Science Joint Support, Anti Inflammatory Supplement for Rabbit & Guinea Pig, Oxbow Timothy Hay, Made with Glucosamine, Turmeric, & Yucca, Made in USA, 4.2 oz Bag

My 4 and a half year old female lop has started having some mild joint pain due to arthritis, according to our vet. She gave us a bag of these supplements. I noticed the active ingredients are glucosamine and chondroitin, which are proven to improve joint pain in humans. I'm honestly not sure how to assess whether they are helping or not, but I can say that she loves these :)! She'll run over and jump at them like a little piranha lol. I give her bondmate one too, because he generally gets everything that she does XD. He also loves these.I figure we don't really know whether or not supplements help humans, so it would be even less likely to know whether they help rabbits. But these are made with good ingredients, clinically proven actives, and my bunnies love them. So at worst, I'm giving them a daily "healthier" treat that they love. At best, I'm helping to support their joints. It's a win/win, so I'll continue to purchase these.

My two senior (~8 years old) rabbits love these! They are easy to break in half, slight smell of hay. They go crazy when they hear the bag open. I've actually noticed a difference in their activity levels when I give these consistently. They were getting pretty lazy but they've been binking around much more, I assume this really does help support their joints and makes it easier for them to move and jump. I know supplements like these are often not beneficial, so I'm very pleased to see how effective it is.

As guinea pigs age, they often develop joint pain but may not exhibit it. These must be tasty, because they get a whiff when I open the bag and start to wheek with happiness. It's good for their joint health and Oxbow is consistent with quality products.

Like all of the other Oxbow biscuits, these seem to help my rabbit! After trying them for 2 days she started doing binkis again. She almost 6yo and has a healed hind leg fracture.

I have two senior indoor bunnies and started using this mainly for the turmeric to help with inflammation. They’re also on digestive support, allergy/sinus herbs, and a tiny bit of vitamin D since the UVB light didn’t end up working for them.This stuff isn’t cheap, and with all the supplements it adds up—but honestly, it’s worth it. My bunnies are still active, running to their food and even doing little binkies. I really think this joint support helps keep them comfortable and moving well.It’s hard to find good, rabbit-safe supplements, and I trust Oxbow. If you have older bunnies and want to support their joints naturally, I’d definitely recommend giving this a try.

My veterinarian recommended these as a preventative measure for my 7 year old Lionhead bc of her age. She has never shown any signs of joint pain, so I can't speak to their effectiveness if there are any active issues, but she goes absolutely nuts when I take the bag out, and sprints away with the biscuit, flicking her feet the whole way (the bunny equivalent of giving the finger). If these biscuits allow her to enjoy her favorite pastime of flipping me off in my own house for years to come, then they are a very worthwhile purchase.

My rescued rabbit is phenomenally picky on everything she eats. She turns up her nose on 11 of 12 brands of hay we’ve tried, 5 of 6 formulas of pellets and countless rabbit treats. So I was very pleasantly surprised when she eagerly consumed these joint treats! For easier chewing, I break each one in half and place one treat on top of her mixed greens salad every AM. She eats them first! She’s 6.5 yrs old and began showing some slight sluggishness in her hindquarters, yet still fully able to get around and go up and down her stairs. Within just 3 days of starting these treats, all sluggishness disappeared and she once again has a pep in her step. I’m as shocked and skeptical as can be that a treat can do this so quickly, but this is the only new thing that was added to her routine prior to her surprising peppiness.

Not sure if it really makes a difference. I bought these not long ago for my 9 year old rabbit. She's not a picky eater and caught on immediately! Soon after, she had a vet visit for a checkup and was given two of the 'Multi Vitamins' by the same company as a take-home vitamin treat, which I found amusing. Having these certainly hasn't bothered her any, and now every night she knows she gets one with her dinner. Not a bad price and I have only been giving one a day instead of the recommended two. She's always been in great health but I figure at best these help as she ages, at worst they are delicious treats. I've liked Oxbow for years due to them being one of the only brands (if not THE only) that make TIMOTHY-based food pellets instead of alfalfa, especially for those who don't know to look online. Here I am about to purchase another couple bottles of it, so that must be a thumbs up from us I reckon.Original post was August 17, 2017Edit made January 3, 2019:My rabbit still loves them and has been receiving 2 a day for at least a year or so - if I don't include one with her meal, she will look at me expectantly and impatiently grab it when I do offer one. I feed her twice a day and just include one in her pellets; she always digs it out and munches on it first. I stand by my previous comments - I like Oxbow products and my rabbit gobbles these right up. About to put in yet another order! She'll be 11 this upcoming summer and is still in great health aside from a UTI last summer, so I want to keep her healthy and comfortable as long as possible!
