How do I use NutriBAC?

What is the best way to use NutriBAC and how often should I use it?

I used it a lot lately with my hatchlings but I have a few questions:


1. Is your snake regurging?
2. Or, Is this just a precautionary thing?
 
Khaman, in addition to what Kathy said, I use inject it into my mice on feeding day about once every 4 months. I alternate with vitamins on a 2 month cycle (approx.).

It is VERY sticky stuff, so that is why I inject because I feed in cage. You should have seen the christmas tree mice from all the bedding!! Fortunately, I stick around and watch them eat, so caught it before any damage was done.

This year, for the first time, I am going to give a dose to EVERY new baby in its drinking water. When the clutch first hatches, I will give them their first drink while the whole clutch is still together. That way, I won't waste as much Nutri Bac, since the whole clutch will drink out of one bowl until I separate them (after they each grab their very first pinky). I will discard the water after 24 hours, since I don't know how long the product is good for, once mixed with water.
 
Thanks for the info. I have one 02 male okeetee that is tiny and is either regurging everything or it is just not digesting anything fully except small pinks. So I am hoping that the NutriBAC can help him.

Kathy, that's an excellent idea. Would you view that as a better option than GSE in their water in the beginning? I currently put GSE in all my snake's water bowls including the newly hatched babies. I may try NB as a starter as well and then switch over to GSE.

I plan to use NB for awhile, before using GSE. I want them well-innoculated with the beneficial microbes before disinfecting them, lol! I have read that GSE does not destroy beneficial bacteria and has been used in agricultural animals for a long time, but I just feel that sequence may be better.
