A better alternative to Gatorade for sick dragons

[coastergirl946]

I drink a lot of Powerade Zero. As I was reading the bottle's nutrition content, I saw that it has no sugar, no calories, no protein, and no fat. Yet it still has the electrolytes. It dawned on me that this is completely safe for beardies.
I'm aware that people are hesitant to give their beardie Gatorade when they are very sick and need electrolyte replacement because of the high sugar content in regular Gatorade, so this is a solution for people who don't have Pedialyte in their house. Not only is Powerade Zero beardie-safe, it's also delicious for humans too, lol. So it's great to have around the house.
I just thought I'd share this with everyone.

Personally I'd rather give something with regular sugar instead of artificial sweeteners. Considering home made electrolyte formulas have sugar in them, I think some sugar is important.
