Powder probiotics in water?

[liewwan]

So yesterday my boys decide to give me false alarm with poo issue.
Now my girls want the same attention, this time not so false alarm. Found some few dark ROUND poo and also smaller round poo. All the poo are much smaller than usual. I already pulled their feed and added an extra water bottle, put some extra hay cubes along with extra hay.
Now I've heard of giving can pumpkin with powder probiotics, but is it possible to just add probiotic powder in their water? One of the females is in pregnancy watch also.

No, don't put anything in their water. It may clog up the ball and keep it from releasing water or it could cause all the water to leak out. It could cause a chin to stop drinking too if they don't like the taste/texture. I think everybody just sprinkles on top their food pellets.

Good point, thanks. Now will the probiotics be safe for the possible pregnant chin than?
I checked their cage this morning and no big round poops.

there is no problem with giving probiotics to a pregnant chin.
