megalin Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Hello all, I realized last week that the girls have worms as I found one in a dropping and ordered some flubenvet. I've mixed it all up as instructed but all the powder still seems to fall to the bottom so I feel like they're not getting any. Has anybody else had this problem? Maybe I should mix it all into individual daily portions and give it to each of them separately in their evening porridge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 If you coat the pellets very lightly with something like olive oil, the powder will stick much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megalin Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 That's a good idea, I have some cod liver oil. Will try it tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bevmatt Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I agree, we use linseed oil or cod liver oil... measure out however much feed they need for the 5 days and then mix the oil - enough so the pellets are very lightly coated - your hand should be slightly greasy when you take your hand out from mixing. Then once it is coated add the correct amount of wormer and mix well again. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
