Well, you never know.....one study says this one that.....but I think part of the issue here would be "herbivores" may need them for digestion........it didn't say omnivores.....which are what beardies are......every different type of eater uses different gut flora and fauna to digest it's food.....and every species may have different ones and or normal levels as such....that's why we don't intermix species....what's good for one may be deadly to another as we all know. I don't have any total herbivores as of yet anyway.....but I'll certainly keep the study in mind in case I acquire one.
As for the parazap.....it's goal is to balance the digestive system to it's own healthy, natural state......I have regular fecals done on my reptiles and have not had any pinworm....but haven't had any diarrhea or bloating either....but then again I have no herbivores.
Thanks for the info, Bill, it's good to share when others may have not read that article......we all need to be aware of changes that may affect the reptiles in our care.
