shoura Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I've just mixed 6g Flubenvet into 2kg of pellets, mixing in a bucket, thoroughly per the instructions. I actually sprayed the pellets with a bit of olive oil to help the powder adhere to them. But when I filled the feeder I found a lot of powdery stuff at the bottom of the bucket---not sure if that is Flubenvet or just powder from the pellets. I am going to re-mix it all and will use a bit more oil---am I in danger of making the pellets soggy? Any other tips for making this work? Also, for the next week they won't be getting any treats or doing any FR, but should I continue to give them their greens? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I mix mine in a bag like the way you'd flour a piece of fish I start with a bread bag for the first kilo then move on to a pedal bin bag you have to make sure there are no holes in through put a small amout of pellets in then the flube shake add CLO shake the add pelletts as for greens I'm not to sure as i still let mine out for a stort FR but they don't get treats which makes me really popular not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I just mixed it today, I add the flubenvet to the oil first. mix well and then add the oil slowly to the pellets as I mix, you need good amount of oil to do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I cheat and use cherry tomatos. Chooks lurve toms and is easier to make a small incission in them,put a tiny pinch of Flubenvet inside and feed them one each.Repeat 6 more times over next 6 days and its all done.This way you're guaranteed they're each getting their dose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 The downside of Stevies approach is they get it all in one fell swoop every day (although when I only had 4 I used this approach with grapes ) Now I mix the amount into a small amount of pellets with some cod liver oil to make it stick, and then add the treated pellets a bit at a time to untreated pellets and mix up. This ensures they get the medication gradually throughout the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
