Cooks Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I use Flubenvet and worm mine every 3/4 months whether I see worms or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hen Watch Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 If you can get in a routine with worming that is a good thing. I had mine for 10 months, no sign of worms in their poo and thought every thing was OK. Then I had a spell of egg reduction, so I tried worming with Flubenvet just in case and was horrified to see dead worms in their poo. So from then on I've wormed every 3/4 months and put it in the diary to do. You can get Flubenvet online from various places. Shop around for best price. http://www.petdispensary.co.uk http://www.chemistdirect.co.uk http://www.petmeds.co.uk/ Some people on here use Verm-X natural wormer. I can't comment on it as I've not used it but I decided to go with Flubenvet instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
