Product Description
NutriBAC df - a Probiotic for Reptiles
Contains naturally occurring microorganisms, tested and proven. This product is a water-soluble powder suitable for sprinkling on food or mixing in drinking water.
Beneficial bacteria, known as probiotics, have long been known to aid the intestinal tract of humans. Many reptile-related diseases can be traced to the health of the reptile's intestinal tract, too. A good, well-balanced probiotic offers a safe approach for aiding the healthy gut flora of reptiles.
Many keepers have reported that the use of NutriBAC df has increased their reptile's appetite, reversed constipation, and stopped regurgitation following feedings. A good probiotic or beneficial bacteria, like NutriBAC df, is simply a "tool" in the husbandry of reptiles and amphibians.
The uniqueness of the combination of "good" bacteria in NutriBAC df is that they are grown together before being harvested. Other commercial DFMs (Direct Feed Microbials) are grown separately then blended together.Growing them together affirms their compatibility. NutriBAC df is harvested live (viable) prior to the maturation log phase which assures its stability (longer life) in the gut. When bacteria are released in the intestine of the reptile or amphibian they are ready to continue their growth phase, thus extending their life in the animal's gut and increasing their efficacy.
Instructions for Use
This product is very water soluble. Dusting over wet greens will work very well.
Nutribac df can also be made into a paste by adding a little water to it and dispersing for syringe type feeding.
Live feeder insects can be dusted with Nutribac df WITHOUT harming them.
Adding Nutribac df to the water bowl is another successful dosing technique. Water bowls should always be rinsed and changed DAILY.
Nutribac df is not toxic at any level. The excess bacterium is simply excreted.
General Dosing Instructions
Everyday use is recommended for a short time after any antibiotic treatments.
Dust feed several times a week to maintain a healthy digestive tract.
Dust 1/6 teaspoon of Nutribac df per 1 cup of wet greens several times a week. Feeder insects may likewise be dusted lightly several times a week.
Very sick reptiles being fed "slurry" because they cannot take solid food can be given Nutribac df by adding 1/8 of a teaspoon per 5 lbs animal weight to the slurry. Always add Nutribac df to slurry just prior to feeding, to ensure it is fresh and active.
