ParaZap Help!!

timdaly Oct 16, 2004 04:40 PM

Ok, I’ve heard so many great things about ParaZap that I had some sent up to give it a shot. I read the directions and it said around 3cc’s of tea for an adult dragon. It also said to give the tea twice a day.

Here is my problem. I have twenty dragons that I’m treating and that will take forever! It also doesn’t help that they hate it! I tried to let them drink it out of a dish, I tried the syringe but no way! So I had to “force” it down like you would give them med’s but it’s 3cc’s and they hate it so it goes all over and the dragons get stressed out, even worse than me!

Injecting crickets would work well if you didn’t need to give them so much. Even if you were to make a “paste” it would almost imposable to inject and the dragons would be scared to eat another cricket after the first one.

What do I do?

Hi
i use a syringe and with the tip i open the tip of snout and then give littlebit.
then they wil start lick again and then i give then when they just open muoth again little bit tea.
for dragon who weight 300 gram i give 3 cc for a 500 gram dragon i give 5 cc like that .
when you make the tea and have it cooled of put it trough a coffee filter so not any fiber is left then they wil like it more.
i do it 1 time a day and not 2 times thats enough.
you can also dust youre prey items with the powder .
but tea is stronger and working better.
i have also many dragon now round the 25 i must give i know it take time
byeeeeee

Thank you so much! I'll try the coffie filter. Maybe that will help. I am also going to try the cricket dusting and the salad dusting right now.I hope they will be ok with it.
