Alternative to powdering...

So, we put Panacur on our critter's nose to be licked off.

Therefore, why can't we make a concentrated solution of Repashy Plus and dose them the same way?

Wouldn't it be easier and more accurate supplementation?

Have any of you tried this?

panacure (fenbendiazole) is a dewormer not an organic (herbal/natural) suppliment like repashy. Adding water to a dry solution could possibly change the delicate balance in the ratio in the suppliments.

Ah ha, I knew there must be a reason.

It seems like it would be more trouble than it's worth to give a wet dose of supplement, even if they lick it from their noses. For our leos that get meals or small supers, I just put a pinch of Rephashy's on the worms in their dishes and swirl it around a bit. Next year I may have to use a sifter to dust small worms.

You don't do the shake and bake method Laney??

 

[fl_orchidslave]

On the big superworms, yes, those are shaken to coat. Just little worms get swirled, and they're well coated. It's easier for me rather than plucking out all the little ones after dusting. A lot of mouths to feed takes time and this was one way I could streamline it some.

That makes sense. I wasn't sure how large your collection was. I also heard some times the shaking on the lil wormies makes them less active (or kills them) and the leos just don't want them as much.

I do use the "dip finger in water, dip in Repashy's and put on gecko's nose" method for geckos where I'm worried they're not eating well and not getting the supplement. I figure that the supplement is going to get wet in their mouths anyway and delivering it immediately shouldn't mess up the concoction too much.
