If you have to give oral meds and they are eating well, inject the meds into the wax worms or crickets, roaches, what ever you are feeding. This is what I did and it works GREAT!!!

I was lucky with that yesterday, and I dropped the grub into Ritty's mouth whilst he was shedding - success! He looked a little confused but seemed to enjoy it when he realised it was edible
I've yet to get them to open their mouths for the med syringe but my partner's found the knack to it. He annoys them gently till they grab the thing then scoot! Two days to go and they should be on the way up again![]()
Last night of yukky medication for the little ones tonight.
Both seem a little run down, like the vet said they would, not eating or hopping around as much as usual.
Aside from being a bit skinny, they look fine - bright eyes, good reactions, brightly coloured, shiny skin. Ritty's limbs still seem stiff and I'm keen to get plenty calcium and protein into him but he doesn't seem interested in food. Any tips?
I'm planning to gut load, dust and inject the meds into some bugs tonight to give him everything he needs with minimal stress.
Once the meds are done, it's plenty vits and bugs to get them back into shape.
