Nicola O Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Just started another round of worming, but I'm having real trouble with Doris. I always use the grape method and Doris is normally just as eager to eat them as everyone else - until there is flubenvet on them. She eyes the grape suspiciously and won't touch it, and backs away from it as though it is some sort of unexploded bomb . I have to keep her in the run on her own as someone else would snaffle it, but she just won't touch it. I tried mixing a pinch with a small amount of sweetcorn today (another favourite) but again she won't go near it. I have a small glass bottle (about 10ml I think) with a dropper in the top - can I mix a pinch or two of flubenvet in water in this and give her a little squirt each day - I can't think of any other way of getting the wormer into her, little madam Nicola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I don't get on with the grape method either! You could rinse and dry some sweetcorn and shake a pinch of Flubenvet over it and then feed it to her. This is how I dose my girls usually.

Nicola O Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 Tried sweetcorm and she wouldn't touch that either. It's strange, she will go mad for grapes and sweetcorn any other time - it's as if she knows.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoice Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 How about in some porridge or mash with water added? Thats how i give them spice or limestone flour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
