Rescued burm need some advice

[Dianne]

There is a reptile probiotic powder called NutriBAC that helps debilitated critters, or those coming off of a course of antibiotics, to re-establish good gut flora. Perhaps that was it.

Dusting a pinch of the powder onto the burm's damp f/t feeder certainly wouldn't hurt.

I don’t think this was a probiotic, or at least not that alone. It was more of a nutritional supplement (extra protiens, vitamins, etc.) due to the poor body and muscle condition of my bp. The goal was to pack as much nutrition into each feeding as possible.

The girl who had him was intentionally under-feeding him so he wouldn’t “get 6 feet or more”...her words. He was 2 when I got him but didn’t have the body mass or length appropriate for his age or species. It still makes me angry to think about such stupidity.
