Awwww! It's great to see how well they've settled in! Lucky buns!
Awww a bink!
What does administering wormer actually involve? Is it a syringe job?
Yes, it's a special tube which you move a marker to the next mark to give one dose then administer the dose as you would syringe meds. It is a tiny amount though and is more ofa paste so tend to be easier to administer. Just like fibre plex.
If you ran courses on rabbit handling and administering meds I would definitely sign up. :thumb: I could only get fibreplex into Spenser sandwiched between two strawberry leaves, and metacm via a fenugreek crunchie.
We, and many othe rescues, recommend that anyone taking on new bunnies panacur for 28 days just to make sure buns are clear of worms and EC ..a lot don't bother but Ali isCan I ask a daft question and ask what's the wormer needed for?

When I suggested doing Rum and Raisin to you you didn't mention you always do it so sorry if i was preaching to the converted ....but glad you do and wish more people didNo problem! It is the protocol I follow whenever new rabbits come here on the advice of my vet. Every rabbit has a 28 day course of panacur. After that they are only wormed when there is a problem eg. EC or worms. This is done both for fosters and my own rabbits.
I am sitting here with them doing bunny 500s round about me. I am about to post some more pics too.

most decent vets will recommend this to any new owner Your idea of you having a morning showing people how to give wormer and meds would be a great idea..go for it ! x
