Pro-biotics for frogs & toads

[kueluck]

Ok, after more research on pro-biotic for amphibians I come across NutriBAC. How does this differ from LymnoZyme and when & should this be used on tree frogs and toads?

Hi Gail,
Wow, this is so interesting. I am looking forward to reading more about it.

Here's some interesting info: Frogs must generate enough heat to stimulate antibodies to work when body is attacked by virus, etc. Humans run fevers which is both an offense and a defense against disease and not the result of the illness. It is pro-active. Frogs can't produce a fever but have to locate heat to trigger an artificial "fever". Probiotics are sounding better.

I checked out the NutriBAC website NutriBAC Probiotics for Reptile Health. It looks like a good probiotic for all amphibians however I do not know of a U.S. distributor. They do have distributors in Hong Kong, Taiwan and mainland China.
