can you help ?
Just going to get one out for you hun and have a look - don't panic!!
Right, the sachets I have here are silver with a black box with white writing on "Science Recovery. Liquid feed for small herbivores". The sachet contains 20g of concentrate and it says to dilute with 70ml of WARM (not boiling) water.
Do you have syringe? Or are you hoping she'll eat it herself?
Hi
It is 70 ml of warm water i.e cooled boiled water per sachet...but don't use the whole sachet as you don't need to and can save some for tomorrow. Just use 1/3 rd or half and adjust water amounts.
oh you beat me too it and answered my question as i was typing it ! :lol: thanks
It doesn't really matter how much you mix up, I usually mix around half a packet and if it doesn't all get used, stick it in the fridge and reheat with a little more warm water when you want to use it again.
I mix it with warm water and runny enough to squeeze through a 1ml syringe with the tip cut off.
Some buns prefer to try and lap it from a small bowl if they can.
I also sometimes make a drier/stickier mix and portion it out into little bite sized balls to hand feed if they don't like the syringe.
