I agree with Helikaon – I very much doubt Australians will see the products on the shelves in the near future – the contain poultry meal. My understanding Australia restricts the import of bone/meat meal from everywhere except New Zealand. (source of information ICON database)

They contain the following:
Trimethoprim (0.42%), Sodium Sulfadiazine (0.21%).
Metronidazole (1.0%), Fenbendazole (0.5%)

I am no expert – but I expect all these products are available in commercial stock/chicken/fish feed in Australia now.

Also these foods are suggested as medication – not every day food. I can see them been very popular with breeders and people with large collections. You get a new animal and feed it medicated feed for a few weeks during quarantine.

Vets in the US also recommend worming your reptiles every 6 months. (It is repeated often in the vet text books).

Also a little about medicating animals – Fenbendazole is used in the bird industry – it is added to the water to medicate chicken warms. How is this a “controlled” dose?

Also do you think a breeder should have to take 100+ animals to the vet every 6 moths for their twice yearly warming? (As recommended in UK vet text books)? Or should there be items bought over the counter like with all other animal husbandry.
