I been given meds for my degu dylan but hes the timid one so he doesnt like being picked up at all....How can I give him his meds??

Try injecting the meds into a little bit of wheetabix, it absorbs it so you can give it to him without picking him up

Very good idea thanks I'll see if he'll eat it

do goo's like sweet things?

Alpro soya apparently are excellent for getting animals to take meds, just mix it in.

I use banana flavoured baby food for the rats and that worked well

They can get diabetes unfortunately The sweetest thing they are allowed are yoghurt drops with no added sugar, but you can only feed them it once a month! and even then no diabetic degus are allowed it. Thanks for the tip though, I know they like herbs and oats - these are things they can have every day.

Oh by the way, I found some weetabix but they are fortified with vits and iron I'm not sure about giving that to them.

Mine are fine with weetabix, however they only get it on the odd occasion You only need a small bit to soak up the meds so it won't do them any harm
