Hello,
Whats a god dewormer for a Sulcata?
Whats a god dewormer for a Sulcata?
I guess it depends on where one is reading the info from. Many places I have read both seeds (raw) and flesh and one or the other. Seeds being most used as you can buy them (raw) any time of the year. The first place I heard about feeding pumpkin was tfo years ago. I do feed both, as I feed the whole thing.pumpkin is not a natural dewormer pumpkin seed ground up is a natural dewormer. that requires massive amounts of the seed because there's a tiny little bit of chemical in the seed
only the pumpkin seeds contain the chemical that can be used as a dewormer the Name Escapes me at the moment the flesh contains no such chemical. And you have to grind the seeds up and you have to use a lot of seeds, a LOT of seeds. And since they are'nt really aren't designed to eat seeds
I avoid feeding it just in general.
I have heard the pumpkin dewormer claim, but I have not ever been able to find any evidence to support it or even a proposed method of action. I suspect this might be an old wives tale.
Only when your tortoise(S) have worms, and in numbers large enough to present an issue.So just because I haven't had to deal with this yet..should I deworm my tortoise only when issues arrive or on a scheduled routine?
