Ygerna Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Do I just add a bit to the Grub? I bought it today but never thought about how I would administerit until this evening TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgerbluebadger Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 All my layers pellets are loose in a metal dustbin and I just added the power direct to bin and gave it a really good mix. The girls then get it everyday without any fuss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quickcluck Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I put a large teaspoon enough good to fill 2 grubs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I keep my food in a large bin and each week mix up some pellets, garlic powder and Bokashi in a tub which lasts the week. If I forget I add a level teaspoon of the powder to the grub when I fill it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helenmb Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Be careful not to spill any as I find if it gets damp it turns into a smelly sticky goo - yuck . I just mix some into my layers mash/pellets about a teaspoon full for each grub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poachedegg Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I put mine in when I make a pellet porridge for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Don't open it on a windy day either. I just put a spoonful in the grub when I refill it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I also give them a spoonful with their porridge, along with some bokashi, sometimes poultry spice, all mixed together with marmite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerrie Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Hi sorry to ask a very simple question but how do you make pellet porridge? Kerrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Hi sorry to ask a very simple question but how do you make pellet porridge?Kerrie Just pellets and hot water. I normally have a cuppa about three so I make my tea and once I have drunk it I use the water from the previously boiled kettle to make the porridge. I keep a stash of pellets in a tub in the kitchen ( don`t tell OH!!!) and have two large dog bowls under the sink ( don`t tell OH) that I make it in! I also add whatever peelings/leftover veg I have. Sometimes some raisons or grapes. good way to get some grit into them too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I fill my feeder using a bucket and add the garlic powder at that stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
