Wormout Gel - How to get them drink

[albert]

Hi group,

Wonder any of you have any tips on how to get gouldians drink wormout gel, worm away, or the like.

I haven't treated them for worm for a while, so this is the good time since I am pairing them for breeding now.

Thanks in advance...

Mine is mixed into the drinking water.
I remove the water just before lights out the day before, so they can't sneak a drink of water.
Then in the morning I put the drinking water w the worm-away mixed in.
That is the only water they have. No bath, no veggies, no egg, or anything else that has moisture in it.

Do they really drink the solution or just skip water for the 2 days

I tried wormout gel and they really skipped it for 2 days..

They drink, but not very much.
That is why you have to eliminate all other sources of water/moisture.
And that is why I remove the water the evening before. So they are thirsty in the morning. Well it also helps that I feed them pellet food. Pellet food being dry makes them drink more water than if they were on a seed only diet.

BTW, this is what I use.
