Any suggestions on the easiest way to give Fibre plex to buns?

Bramble and Bungee hate being picked up and I wondered if there was an easier way? :?

Do they like the taste of it? My two take it direct from the syringe!

I have put it on a fenugreek crunchie or inside a wrapped up basil leaf before (or spring greens or something similar)

I don't think they mind the taste, and I have just given them some from the syringe, but I was holding them at the time. I'm not sure they would just come and eat it from the syringe on their own, but I will give it a try later on. If not I'll try it on a cabbage leaf or something.

Thank you x

Spenser would only take it sandwiched between two strawberry leaves! :roll:

But, can you really compare his Lordship and his demands to the mere common bunny??

My two will take it straight from the syringe, or from a bowl/spoon. Barney will attack me for it. I once left it on my bedside table and came home to find that he had chewed the nozzle off to get to the fibreplex :shock:

I've only tried it once - it was supposed to be for Bubbles and she wouldn't touch the stuff whereas Alfie (who didn't need it) would have eaten the whole lot. :roll:

Spenser: Certainly not! The strawberry leaves have to match, and I don't like it if any of the goo comes out at the edges and gets stuck to my whiskers.

I didn't realised Doughnut loved it as had other medication to give her. I used to put it on a bit of weetabix and she ate it. Now I put metacam or baytril if she needs it on a weetabix and she eats fibreplex off the syringe or I mix the metacam with the fibreplex to mask the taste! She thinks fibreplex is a treat.
