Maybe I missed it, but I did not see this question anywhere on here -- does anyone feed their chins Critical Care "balls" as treats?
The reason I ask is I also have guinea pigs and belong to GP forums and several other GP parents mix CC with a little water to form "balls" (like meatballs) and feed them in a dish to their GPs as treats. You just leave them there for a few hours, not days at a time as you don't want them to spoil.
The theory is that CC has so many beneficial ingredients plus it gets them used to the taste BEFORE they are sick, that it makes it easier to syringe feed CC to them at a later date if it ever becomes necessary.
I haven't tried it yet on either my GPs or my chins. Just wondering if anyone else had tried it or what you thought of the idea. Or why not. There are so few treats we can offer our chins, I just thought this might be one that would be healthy and okay.
