I got some Parazap and I read the instructions, but since beardies do not drink standing water (at least my boy doesn't) how do you get the parazap into your beardies?

I posted this lower, but the thread had already run its course.

I make the "tea" and use a childrens medicine syringe and give them all they will drink once a day for five days. I tried putting it on the salads but the only sure way of knowing they are getting it is to use the tea and syringe.

Seems like you's get a lot running down their chin. Is there an amount you want to get into them each day. How many days do you do it?

Hi
i wil tel whole storie
i put 1/4 t spoon in 3/4 cup boiled water.
then i stir it once a while til its cooled of.
then i take a coffee filter and put every thing trough it.
then i take some veggies like endivi,little bit appel put it in a plastic cup then put the parazap tea in it and then use a handblender and mixed every thing til i have a smooth juice.
then i take a syringe with a plastic tip and use the tip of the syringe to open muoth of beardie ,and give little bit .
then take away very fast the syringe out muoth so he wil smack 2,3,4 times and then i put very fast the syringe in muoth and give again little bit so he can also smack and swalow.
i give 1 cc for every 100 gram beardie .
so a 500 gram beardie i give 5 cc a day for 5 days long.
hope this make sense
i also make tea without juice but i noticed if i use handblender and give them the juice of greens and fruits they like it more .
i also put some times good bacterias in the blended juice like nutribac.

Stacey if you do use the regular tea method, I found it helpful to stop other forms of hydration. They tend to be a little thirsty that way. I hold the ones that don't drink well over my bathroom sink and just keep dropping the tea on their nose end. Your right! It does run a lot. I've broken the recipe in half so I don't have so much waste. 1/8th teaspoon dust, 1/3rd cup water.
