This blowing over the food idea is rubbish in my opinion. The stuff can go anywhere, including up your own nose.

Agreed. I’d make a right hash of trying that.

And the last thing we need is to forget and be walking about with white powder residue around our nose.

In my opinion any adult or subadult tort that is outside all through our so say summer doesn't need extra vitamins unless they are not well.
I only give it to my babies and even through summer they get some but not as much if they are outside.

Thanks Gordon - helpful advice.

So pleased I don't need to practice blowing over the food and having white nostrils!
