Origins FlexJoint Chews are a joint supplement for ageing small herbivores, carrying 45mg of D-glucosamine sulphate and 20mg of MSM per 0.5g chew. The glucosamine is vegan-sourced, which matters for a herbivore — most pet glucosamine is shellfish derived.
Arthritis in a rabbit or guinea pig is easy to miss because they hide pain: reluctance to jump, sitting hunched, or a suddenly grubby rear because grooming has become hard are more common signs than a visible limp. Expect three to four weeks of continuous use before any change, and treat this as support alongside a vet's assessment, not a substitute for one. Sold as a 60-chew pack.
