Hi all

I measured out my 1% Flubenvet last night and mixed it in the 2kgs of the girls pellets.  I have been out to see them and they all come running thinking they might get some mixed corn!  I feel awful already and it is only half way through day one!  I never gave them very much and it was always later in the day but they still live in hope of something each time I go near the run.  Only another 6 1/2 days to go! :(
2 Springer Spaniels, 1 Speckled Sussex,  1 Cuckoo Maran, 1 Light Sussex, 1 Welsummer, 2 Barnvelders and 2 silver Pencil Wyandotes.

My local animal feed supplier tells me they no longer sell flubenvet because of new regulations last year and that i need to buy i from a vet. Is this true or can anyone suggest another supplier???

As I am new to all this I'm not sure but I think the 1% can be bought but if you want the 2.5% then you have to get it from the vets.  I'm sure someone with more experience of all this will come along!
