Margaret Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Well its that time of year when the Girlies need to be wormed. So Tuesday filled up both feeders with the medicated Marriages pelletts, and so far they have eaten nothing. So now they will be on them for 9 days or more until they start eating them, amazed that they can hold out for so long, mind you no poo in the nest box or Cube this morning I will win but normally they do give in earlier than this.

jennym Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 so far they have eaten nothing Eeek! I didn't know this could happen. I have to worm mine soon. Is it just because you've medicated the pellets, or are these the pre-treated pellets and they aren't used to them? I have the powder so I'm hoping that once I mix it in they won't notice. Any hope of that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 Its the treated pelletts and they hate them, used to use the grape method but awkward now have a few as cant always get a grape to each individual, and also not really the right way but it did work for me.

gongladosh Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 try sprinkling a little garlic powder on them - it may improve the taste for them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohcarolina Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Hallo I've been trying to get the medicated marriages without success where I live but I work in Bexleyheath (up the road from you) - do you but them locally and if so where?

JanTheDiver Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Caroline You should have told me when we met up recently as I am 15 mins drive from Marriages. If you have trouble getting them let me know and I will see if I can get some for you when I drop off your things. Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennym Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 lots of wiggly poos Urg Did you have any indication that they had worms or was this just a regularly scheduled worming? Just wondering if mine might have'em and I don't even know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 Did notice one a few days ago on the bars, was really suprised as only wormed them in June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
