auntielizzie Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Has anyone recently brought the Flubenvet layers pellets from Marriages? I am having trouble contacting them. Maybe they aren't open at weekends but I have tried to ring several times the number on the website with no response. I have also emailed but as yet no reply. Perhaps someone has recently been in touch with them and could advise me how to do the same. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlotta Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I spoke to them on Friday so I suspect they are closed on the weekend... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Don't think they ever answer emails I can recommend SPR centre. Order it online now and you probably would have it by Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Webmuppet Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I bought mine from SPR but the expiry date was rather close to the date they arrived here. SPR centre are aware that Marriages are sending out 'old stock' just make sure you check the expiry date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali-s Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Just been on the SPR site to order a 10kg sack of the Flubenvet pellets. The pellets cost £5.90 but it will cost £10.50 to get them delivered up here I live on the the UK mainland, I do not have to catch a ferry to visit my family down South, I can drive as there is no sea to cross, so why am I classed as living on a Scottish Isle Sorry, a bit of a rant there but it does make me cross And Breathe Do Marriages have a site to order on line? or do you have to phone them? Maybe their postage charges are not so steep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Their site is rubbish and you can't seem to order via it so I just called them up - very helpful and they arrived promptly. I can't remember how much it was but the postage wasn't steep either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Couldn't get hold of Marriages by phone this morning so I ended up buying a pot of 1% Flubenvet again. Back to mix, mix, mixing I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cluckbok Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Flubenvet layers pellets???? How often do you give that? or is it just a continuous thing that's just in the feed for them to have all the time?? Would save messing about mixing own batch up.

auntielizzie Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 I emailed Marriages and a very nice lady rang me on Monday morning. As suspected, they are not open at weekends. Anyway, ordered 10kg bag of the pellets with Flubenvet and they arrived this morning. Plan to start giving it to Bessie and Betty on Saturday.

How often do you give that? or is it just a continuous thing that's just in the feed for them to have all the time?? Would save messing about mixing own batch up. Once every few months for 7 days. Just replace their normal feed. A 10kg bag should do 10 hens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Quarterly for 7 days, no other food and restrict free-ranging in that time too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HungryOH Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I asked for the Marriages Flubenvet layers pellets at the pet store and the owner said that they weren't allowed to stock them until they were "qualified" to do so. The qualification was akin to being a vet prescribing drugs. Odd that we can order them over the phone but the pet shop can't sell them.

TheFeatheredFiend Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 When we got ours, they came with a vetinary prescription signed by Marriage's resident vet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanTheDiver Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I live just outside Chelmsford, where Marriages are based,and when I went to them to get some I was told they do not open at weekends. I just called them and reserved a 10kg bag and picked it up a few days later. I know this isn't possible for a lot of people but if you live drive-able distance from Chelmsford it's worth doing.

The qualification was akin to being a vet prescribing drugs. Odd that we can order them over the phone but the pet shop can't sell them. They may only be sold by a licensed outlet; it costs a couple of grand and takes 4 days to get the licence, which is why not many outlets stock either Flubenvet or the medicated pellets. It is not a prescription product, but needs to be sold by a qualified individual who should ask you various questions before you can purchase it.
