Okay, I've made the tea.Now it says to pour off the liquid.Am I giving Issey and Mrs. Miyake the liquid I pour off or what's left in the cup? I am assuming it's the liquid, but I want to make sure.

Yes dearheart, its the liquid you give them, I always try and stir so that I get most of the stuff that settles too!

Hope they drink it for you! Mine dont seem to mind it !

I used a dosing syringe. they are free at the drug store.I gently open their mouths with the tip of the syringe.They do not seem to mind. I think they like it. The instructions said 3cc for an adult beardie so I'm giving them 1 cc.Does that sound about right to you?Also it says to make it fresh each day. It that really necessary.It seems like a lot of waste. I put my leftover in the frig. Of course I would let it warm up in the syringe before dosing. Also if it does need to be made fresh, can I divide the water and parazap equally. ie: 1/3 c water and 1/2 tsp of parazap?

experimnt on that, I have never done it that way. I have alot of different lizards and I understand that making it fresh each day for the time given, seems like a waste at that price.......

But even so, I always make it fresh and use the amount they recommend.

I use parazap as a preventative, every few months for everyone. As your lizards can be free and then pick up worms/ parasites from crickets they eat, vegtables, and other new lizards that are brought in.

*** But, I do it their way as I figure they must have a reason for refreshing it. Maybe it gets bad, or loses it's PUNCH when sitting, gets weaker!
