@Oxalis Thank you - our little dwarf redfoot rescue at age 2 years old...
He's so tiny, but finally starting to thrive. I discovered Benebac probiotics through a redfoot veterinarian practice in Arizona.
The results have been absolutely remarkable for this little one, and Benebac is available through Amazon.com too! I gave just a pinch on his dinner and the next day he was bright-eyed, energetic, running around the yard doing laps, and eating like a horse- he's always been such a picky, delicate eater.
Now I think his failure to thrive may have just been a lack of digestive flora, and maybe he was eating but kind of starving since he wasn't getting all his nutrients from his food... Hopefully, with the advice of that good tortoise vet, Kiki will start growing like a weed. The vet's advice was just a pinch of Benebac 3 times per week (like a little pinch of salt while cooking.)
