Homemade Pedialyte is cheaper than buying it at the store and most of you have the ingredients on hand.
- Ingredients:
1 quart of water
2-4 teaspoons of sugar (or 1-2 teaspoons of fructose)
1 teaspoon of salt
- Directions:
Boil water, add sugar (or fructose) and salt, then stir. Let it cool down.
Bunnies like it a little bit warm. Refrigerate what you do not use and do not keep it more than 48 hours; make a new batch.
Bunnies who are not eating or drinking should be given 30 cc/per pound of bunny/per day (e.g., a 5-pound bunny needs 150 cc per day). This is extremely important so the bunny doesn't get dehydrated until you can take the rabbit to the vet.
Always consult your vet if your rabbit is not eating.
