I've always used the dosage 1mg/kg, this is stated on Melissa Kaplan's site and was also told this by Kathy Love when getting advice for my female. HTH. For anything less than 100g I use a 0.05ml, so a nib basically.

It's meant to be quite hard to overdose on Panacur... I would just give the smallest dosage you can actually manage. I have given 0.05ml of the 2.5% strength to geckos weighing 30g before and it has helped.
Not sure it will help that much with CB hatchlings though as I have only ever used it on WC animals.

Oh.. and as for how.. do you have a tiny syringe? Often I actually inject it into the mouse if it's something that's going to be hard to syringe it down but obviously if they are non feeders that is not going to be helpful! Your best bet is to get the smallest syringe you can and just syringe it down them. You could add it to the water but hatchlings tend to knock their water over and not drink much anyway.

I have 0.5 ml syringe and just use that. I have always given 0.05ml on anything smaller than 100g

why would you want to worm hatchlings, have you tried other methods of trying to get them to eat, IMO if they are capive breed snakes they should not require being wormed.
