The liquid starts out as powder, usually 22.2% or 222mg fenbendazole per gram of Panacur, to which you add distilled water. You could use it in powder form I suppose, but the amounts would be so small, that you would need a scale that measures in grains.
I find liquid to be easier to use, and just inject it by insulin syringe into a mealworm or cricket. The paste I see a slight problem with not only it possibly attracting debris which gets stuck to the prey, but mainly because the max dose for say a 50g HL at 100mg/ml would be .05cc or 5 units. Those large horse tubes of Panacur don't come marked in units, so you would have to load it down into a syringe that is marked in units...see how messy this could get?
Handsome fella there. I'd also suggest Bene-Bac powder dusted onto some crickets too. Stress can not only result in parasite bloom, but mess with the gut flora.
