benebac powder...

I use benebac powder for my birds to put back good bacteria after breeding etc.
Do you guys give this to your sulcatas? it says its for reptiles too, and since they dont do well with fruits, whats your thoughts on it? i u do use it, how often?

RE: benebac powder...

I probably should have put this under "food & diet"?

Ive never heard of this but I am curious if you have information about good and bad bacteria. I haven't really found anything.

RE: benebac powder...

from what i know, its supposed to put the bacteria back into their gut that they loose from eating fruits etc.

I have been using it on my breeding birds for about 6 months. For them its good to use quarterly for the aviary birds, and then give them a round of it if they were to be on antibiotics (that kills the good bacteria also), breeding, stress, heavy molting. Its a good booste for them.

I wondered if people use it on their torts to put the good bacteria back into their tummies.
