Hi all, just had a couple of Q's regarding worms and birds.
First of all, I have seen in pet stores that they have water soluble bird worming 'stuff', and I wondered whether one could hide in food? Most of them give a dosage (e.g. I pump wormer to 1 cup of water), could this be used in food instead (bird bread?), or does the dosage change?
Also, do you guys recommend worming birds routinely, or let the vet diagnose them first. As far as I understand, worming aviary birds is essential to keeping them healthy. Is this true?
I actually have a bottle of Vetafarm's 'wormout gel', but haven't used it yet, any tips? Should I even?
These questions are simply to satisfy my curiousity and help me understand a bit more, thanks
