Probiotics: Yes or No?

[jennanne]

So there are supplements created for tortoises with essential vitamins but also have probiotics added into it. The description says it helps with constipation and keeping the tortoise's digestive system healthy. Is this a good idea or a bad one?

Can you post a picture of the product or the ingredients on the back

Are you talking about TNT (Total Nutrition for Tortoises)? It's a very good product and you can get it with or without probiotics. I usually buy with then next time I buy without.

That sounds dangerous, Yvonne. My initials are TTN and my friends would (some still do) call me tnt

Yes the TNT one. Peanut has constipation sometimes so I was thinking just mixing this with her food once a week may help her, but I wanted to make sure it was safe.

It's a powdered supplement. You use it just like you would use calcium powder...just a pinch over the food two or three times a week.

Here is a picture of the ingredients.

Peanut is a red foot if that changed anything.
