I don't use pellets as a regular food source but for me with things like this they have been very useful
Also, do you have to give the ABs everyday? Try giving them on food after a bath and with no previous food that day. The more hungry he is the more likely he's going to eat the doctored food Let us know how you get on. |

can you reduce the amount some way? not sure what the dose is but for example if it's 3 drops, could you put 1 drop on 3 different food items? 2 thin slices of strawb or cucumber and a drop in between like a sandwich maybe.
they can smell an odourless item at 500 miles |

On the microchipping subject, if you are not intending to breed or sell - maybe another alternative is to take a good picture (with a good camera) of tort's plastron. This can act as a "fingerprint" of sorts. So I have read anyway.... xx
Super news about Sandra xx Well done for all your hard work and care xx |
