Post Shed ease help

I bought some shed ease as my royals have had mites and I read that the first shed following a mite infestation can be difficult.

But the instructions/directions for use confuse me. They say to make a mixture of 20oz of shed ease and 80oz of warm water, which is fair enough, but why then may I ask, does it come in a spray bottle???

Has anyone used shed ease and how did you use it

Thanks

I cant help on the use of Shed Ease but would say not to bother. Depending on what treatment you used for the mites just carry on as normal and the shed should be fine. I think the problem shed thing may of come from people using olive oil as a mite treatment.

Both of them shed fine last night without the aide of shedease, but the larger female has a few small patches of skin left dotted about, and she has always shed in one perfect peice before.

I've put this down to the mites and I was planning on giving her a bath, thought the ease may have come in handy.

But with it being in a spray bottle I was wondering if it had been pre-diluted and it was just a case of spraying her, or whether the bath was still required.
