Hi.
I need to give fibreplex but my Peachy piggy not keen. Tried putting on parsley and she ate a bit but stopped when she tasted it.

Any tips please. She takes baytril easy.
 
It is hard if they decide not to take it. I inject it into a slice of cucumber. I hope that works for you. My partner said to make tiny holes injecting it all around the slice.
 
I squirt it into the centre of small piece of lettuce, then wrap the lettuce into a small parcel, concealing the fibreplex inside. I've got a very stubborn piggy too!
 
Thank you jerrybelly that sounds like a plan. She is a very fussy piggy.
 
I've always had trouble giving fibreplex from the original syringe so I tend to transfer it into a small syringe to give. Just make sure the syringe is dry or the fibreplex solidifies.
