Hi, Connie, Keith and I have eight ferts, so we've been through giving some really awful tasting meds to ferts. One thing that might make them more palatable is to go to a compounding pharmacy and have the meds mixed with flavoring. Vanilla or banana usually works well. IME, ferts hate the coconut flavor many pharmacies have. Also, we give the meds with a syringe, and scruff the fuzzy and give it then. They may not like it, but they swallow their meds. We also immediately give them a Linatone chaser, and that seems to make all the difference in the world. Good luck!
