I have never used kelp or spirulina but an my last order to lady g I picked up both to try them. Does anyone have any advice on how to administer them to my goulds? Do you guys mix them in seed?

It must be kept dry, so try put it far away from bath time splashes. I add it to the mineral and grit mix on offer, that way they can choose to eat it if they need it.
Too much of a good thing is also not great for them, so I never add anything to their staple seed unless its necessary for medicating.

Spirulina is too expensive for my pocket book, but I do give them kelp. I offer it in these things I call "thumb cups" because their about the size and shape of my thumb. It's in a rotation with a bunch of other things so they probably see it maybe ... once a week? or so.

I add a very tiny amount of spirulina to this vitamin mix I add to their egg food. That's the only time I offer it though. I used to give powered kelp, but I stopped once I started using spirulina.
