Klaus and Sophie are moving in the RC tomorrow and I would like to dose them with revolution.
If I remember correctly it can be dosed orally, but I want to make sure I don't give too much.
Can you guys give me directions on how I can dose it safely?
That way I can also dose them at later times once they are released.
Thank you

I usually place a single drop on the back of the neck of those moving to the release cage... same dosing for giving orally. I can get 5 or 6 "doses" from a single revolution vial.

And to be more specific, I use almonds... soak them in water to remove the "paper" coating and use a drill to make a small hole to place the dose / drop. I do this because I see them usually remove / shave the paper from the almond before eating.

Crevices of pecans is also good, but I anecdotally believe they get the entire dose using the method described... maybe I just like making things more complicated? :thinking

I treat my releases orally with revolution using 2 drops on whatever nut I'm using.
I do this by scraping a small channel in the nut to expose the meat, then I apply the
Rev and allow to soak in and dry. Once it is dry I take the shavings scraped from the
channel and put back in with a smear of almond or peanut butter. I treat mine when
they go into the RC and again 2-3 days before opening the portal.
