Rabbits and guinea pigs are prey animals, and it shows — a new house, a car trip, fireworks or an unfamiliar dog can all tip them into stress. Origins B-Calm Chews carry 12.5mg of L-tryptophan per 0.5g chew, an amino acid the body uses to make serotonin, in a Crittacare Herbivore base flavoured with pumpkin and carrot.
Set expectations honestly: this is not a sedative and it does not work on the day. Vetafarm's own guidance is that improvement shows after three to four weeks of continuous daily use, so it suits an animal with ongoing low-level anxiety rather than a one-off emergency. Sold as a 60-chew pack. If your animal's stress is severe or sudden, see a vet rather than reaching for a supplement.
