Hi All!
I came across an interesting product during my internet meandering. It's called Reptaid manufactured by Amber Technology. It's sold as a homeopathic supplement to provide immune support to reptiles overcoming viral, bacterial and microscopic infections: without the complications of traditional treatments, such as loss of appetite, lethargy, hydration issues, and organ damage. It also claims to control blooms of parasites in reptiles. This formula is for reptiles under 250g (they have another formulation for 250g+ reptiles.)
The active ingredients are: proprietary blend of Brown Mustard Seed, Olive Leaf, Jatoba and Cloves - 321mg, Black Seed - 205mg, Pau D'arco bark - 68mg and Grapefruit Seed Extract - 2mg.
Inactive ingredient list: Concord Grape Wine, Filtered Water and Grain Alcohol USP 2.6% by volume.
Reviews from other purchasers rate this stuff as "magic" claiming it saved many of their sick reptiles and pulled them back from the brink of near death. I haven't come across any reviews from turtle/tortoise owners though. I'm no homeopath and I'm not familiar with the ingredients with regards to safety with giving to tortoises/turtles.
Have any of you tried this product and if so, what was your experience? Are any of ingredients listed above toxic to turtles/tortoises?
