Hedgehog Booster 2 oz

Exotic Nutrition's Sea Urchin Booster ensures your hedgehog receives the vitamins and minerals it needs to thrive. Providing a balanced diet is a priority for good health and well-being, and nutritional supplements can help fill any dietary gaps. If at least 75% of your hedgehog's diet consists of Exotic Nutrition's complete Sea Urchin Food, supplements are optional, as the pellet diet already contains added vitamins and nutrients.

    Gram-positive bacteria: Bacteria considered good bacteria and often destroy harmful bacteria.
    Gram-negative bacteria: Bacteria that live on blood, tissues, and bones, and release toxic substances.
    Lactobacillus: Organisms considered the most popular type of gram-positive bacteria. There are other compounds, which are also beneficial, such as Bacillus subtilis, lactis, bulgaricus, enterococcus, and others.
