don't like pellets

Dumb question I'm afraid.  Mine will only eat pellets if there is no alternative i.e. they will spend all day foraging and eating grass and leave the pellets, when it was snowing they ate the lot so it's only preference.  It's a bit of a problem now as I'm trying to worm them but should I worry otherwise.

If they're eating grass and other garden stuff, they should be fine. It's only if they don't have access to fresh grass,etc that teh pellets become the most important foodstuff.
Everything else is seen as treats.
If you have too many or they're too boisterous for grapes, could you enclose them for a couple of hours to eat teh dosed pellets, then let them range for the rest of the day ?

I found the quantity of pellets needed was not huge per day. As long as they all get the minimum dose each.

The pellets are in supplied containers so the're not getting wet.

Do you think sticking the flud to some corn with a bit of olive oil would work - mine have never seen a grape.

Mine had never seen a grape until I tried to dose them (6). The first 2 snatched 4 of them and I had to beat a hasty retreat to the gate before I was pecked to death.

I'd go with the dry mix with pellets method. Measure out the daily or weekly amount of lubenvet and mix with a handful of pellets. It will coat them. Then mix the handful with some more pellets. You can then mix this in with say half their normal daily or weekly (whichever you choose) amount and then add the correct amount to their feeder. When it's gone, you can top up with normal pellets and start again next day. Repeat for 7 days.

I'd work out how much flubenvet they need and mix with half or less the pellets. AS far as I know, it's the final quantity rather than the ratio with pellets that matters.
Aunt Sally may know with more certainty.
