As prey animals, small animals like rabbits and guinea pigs are naturally prone to stress and anxiety and as such have naturally evolved to hide any signs of distress, making it quite difficult to know if your small animal is suffering from stress and anxiety. Some common signs may include: Hiding Over-grooming Foot stamping (rabbits) Repetitive movements (e.g. circling, pacing) Decreased appetite Hunched body with ears flattened or tucked in. Origins Calm Chews are designed to help relieve anxiety. Made with the amino acid L-tryptophan – a natural precursor for the synthesis of serotonin in the brain and flavoured with Vetafarm’s Crittacare Herbivore, pumpkin and carrot with no artificial binders, colours or flavours.
