Hiya

I am struggling to syringe feed my neighbours bunny.

The emeprid being in a tiny thin 1ml syringe is a disaster. I struggle so much it inevitably ends up squirting and missing his mouth.

Panacur I have managed to put on a bramble leaf and he will eat it,

Fibreflex goes on a dandelion leaf...

I simply can't get emeprid in him...Any hints for giving this to him without wearing it?

Any help/advice , welcome
Fee xx
 
No.. I haven't thought of that.. Don't have any in... My 2 don't like bananas but that's not to say little bun won't... emeprid is just watery though, how would I put that on banana?

Mash it into the banana and let him lick it off a spoon? I'm not sure of that would work but I can't think of anything else, sorry :( hope you can get it into him somehow xx
 
OH injects Jessie's stuff into a banana and she eats it like a starving orphan :lol:
He has also just squished the tip down into a grape, as soon as she tastes it he can push the thingy down and she doesn't seem to notice.
 
I didn't know bunnies could eat grapes? Wow, I have some grapes, will try that tomorrow morning,,,
Sounds like a plan..
