They do not seem to notice any taste. The trickiest thing is getting it in the right squirrel as you do not want anyone to get two drops by being an obnoxious bandit piggy (which is their true nature LOL). Usually I manage by being vigilant. You can keep it on a shelf nearby if you have prepared it, and the patient doesn't show up, so it is handy as and when he does You should give another dose after 10 days to kill any remaining parasites. I just dip a toothpick into the medication and let it drip one drop on the nut meat, or better yet, just touch the nut lightly. It is VERY powerful and dangerous stuff, so do not overdose. MORE IS NOT BETTER. I do not give it to nursing mothers either, but wait until I think her little ones are weaned.
