Probiotics?

[Tim/Robin]

Does anyone have an opinion on offering probiotics to their tortoises like that found in the TNT Nutrition powder from Carolina Pet Supply?

I use it for my rts and my boxie.
When I first got my torts they were on the wrong diet from the pet store and had the runs bad.The few first times I used it and the right diet,there poo was alot better.
With the tnt,and cuttle bone with the right diet,thats all you really need.
I would definetly recamend it

We had our Greek Tort on dewormer after we brought him home.

I first oredered the probiotics all by themselves to help with the dewormer seide effects.

Then I read about the TNT with the probiotics in it.

The amount and type in the TNT seem beneficial without the possibility of being too much (if that is possible).
I know for humans the probiotics help keep everything 'in check' so that even when you do get sick or eat something that might not agree with your system you bounce back a bit easier.

I cannot remember to put them on 3 days a week in a certain amount.
So I measured out that everyday a very light sprinkle (once a day) was equal to the suggested amount.

I bought a salt shaker and put the TNT in it to make it easier and less messy to sprinkle. (keep it in a baggie to keep the TNT fresher)

We use it on our beardie greens too
