Life saver for rabbit raising!
All 6 baby bunnies drank this right up. Using a double boiler on the stove seems to help them want to eat it more. The heat makes the milk smoother. Only get it to a little hotter than your skin like a human baby. Don't want to cook the nutrients out of the milk. Pairs very well with the miracle nipple. You need the small nipple but the 3ml syringes. Not the 1 ml syringe. At 2.5 weeks orphaned...they needed more milk and refilling a syringe 16 times is quite the task! Especially if you have to do it x6!

The only formula you should ever buy for wildlife!!!
The media could not be loaded. I do wildlife rehab and this is the ONLY formula I buy. I do squirrels, and cottontails mostly, but in the past Ive saved raccoons and opossums too using this formula.I just took this video of my latest baby cottontail drinking his bottle. Look at how happy he is!! He is literally so excited that he cant contain his energy. I was brought this baby when he was just a day old, eyes closed teeny tiny. At first he didnt eat like this - I had to give him a drop at a time as he fought me and sort of lapped it up. They spill a lot at first bc they dont know how to suck, and they want their mom.. but stick with it and they will learn how to nurse after about a week.If you know anything about cottontail rehab then you know they have a 1/10 chance to make it. I specialize in bunnies so I have about a 9.5/10 survival rate. Ive rescued around 50 of these guys over the years, and have only lost maybe 1 - AND I have ONLY ever used this Fox Valley formula.You just add warm filtered water to formula 2 to 1, and use one of those hand held battery powered blender tools in a coffee cup. The formula lasts in the fridge 24 hours with aluminum foil over the top. I just pour small amounts into a new cup and warm that up separately for every feeding. (You never warm it up and put it back in the fridge, so just warm enough for that feeding). You can also buy the syringes and nipples from their website too. Fox Valley is the only company I ever use.

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.

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!

Awesom
This stuff was amazing for the very young flying squirrels I had found. They are now on the 20/50 for older squirrels and are doing amazing. Highly recommend!

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.

For baby opossums
The media could not be loaded. (Pictures posted are about a 3 week difference between when we found him (mid April) to now (early-mid May.) Found a baby opossum on the sidewalk completely lost and disoriented without his mother and siblings. Was way too young and small to be on his own, still hadn't grown teeth, and wouldn't accept simple things such as water and wet cat food. This formula was a lifesaver. Took him about a day to warm up to it (we started him on newborn kitten formula while we waited for this to arrive in the mail). Started to gobble it up and was gaining more energy, weight, and started growing his little teeth. Eventually transitioned him to fruits, various proteins and an opossum specific kibble formula. Couldn't have done it without this product. Do note, the seller is unable to accept returns on this product. We only used about 1/4th of the bag until the little guy started craving soft solids such as fruits.
