Probiotics for hedgehogs

[charlie]

I've searched around and can't find any info on this one in our new forum, other than probiotics can be used. What is recommended for hedgies in terms of a pro-biotic? Annabelle is on baytril right now and I can't remember what was recommended for use as a probiotic....

I use human probiotic (5 billion bacteria) without lactose because I don't want to mess Litchi stomac. I was adviced that it was better than BeneBac witch contained ingredient that have been linked to cancer.

You can buy acidolphilus with a very high live bacteria count and sprinkle it on your hedgehogs' food. Acidolphilus is available in health food stores or in the vitamin area of a pharmacy.

Acidophillus, I forgot that word, thanks Kalandra.
