Hello, anyone used Harrion's Booster?
I am mostly in trouble about the dosage,
I can mix 5ml to 454g of food, or like I would rather do to make sure the birds eats it, administer 0,02-0,06 ml (1-3 drops supposedly) per 100 g body weight.
...so zebra finches are puny, aren't they just around 15g or something? I can't quite figure out what I should be giving him.
If that makes no sense I'll just add it to their food, it's better to add it to eggfood or such right, instead of seed?
Harrison's avix booster, question.

Thank you Cindy, I had seen this. I am still confused to what to give to zebra finches. I think I'll just email them to be sure

Re: Harrison's avix booster, question.
I mean clearly 0,02-0,06 per 100 g is far too much for a finch that is around 15 g. So...should I give around 0,01-0,004 ml?
...god I think I will need a very small syringe.
