Spoke to them over the phone about Moxidectin rates.
Did you all have a dosage rate of 5ml per 1Litre
or one drop direct.

Recived an email from them to confirm dosage.
"Hi Will,

The dose of Moxidectin Plus for birds that weigh under 100g (which all finches do) is one drop. When medicating through the water the dose is 5ml per litre for 24 hours. This works out at 0.5ml per 100ml. Do be mindful that the drug should not be used in breeding birds that have unfeathered chicks in the nest. The chicks will receive too much of the drug and some may die.
