One of my budgies - Blueboy doesn't use the iodine block. I am concerned that he is not getting enough iodine.
What is the best supplement to add to either seed, veg or water that I can use.
Links appreciated.
Thanks
Marianne

I use iodine tincture, Marianne. 25mg/ml It is a weak iodine solution, added to water - 3 drops per 100ml. I give it 2x a week as recommended by vet, and I think Barrie suggested the same. You should be able to get it from a local chemist. Just make sure you know what the concentration is.

It is the dilution rate that is needed, Marianne. I couldn't get a look what the make-up is. You really need to be sure that the mix is 25ml/ml. Get them to give the concentration rate, and you will be okay. |
