I just use VitaDrops. It has everything in it that they need and I can add it to their water - sprinkling it over seed is pretty hit and miss. Mostly miss.

The only thing I would change for would be if I could get something largely similar only with beta-carotene in it instead of Vit A. Betacarotene is water soluble, is metabolized into Vit A, and can't ever be toxic. Vit A can be toxic due to overdose - which has never happened anyway but I'd rather a beta-carotene multivitamin if I could find it.
