Did your vet say what type of worms they were?
HELP (home's hingeback tortoise) care
- Thread starter hingeback
- Start date
When I gave one of my redfoots medicine, I offered a strawberry, and as they opened the mouth I squirted a bit in at a time. Or you could try injecting it into some fruit. Trouble is she is going to have to eat all the piece of fruit to get all the medicine.
Dont know if others have any better tricks to feed meds.
Depending on the animal, some folks sneak it in the food. Like a hallowed out strawberry. I have tubed it.
Did the Vet atleast have you describe the worms?

Is there something she likes to eat and swallows it right down?
We just got her on Tuesday so I am still not sure what she likes to eat
Didn't ask.
Try it in a banana, they love bananas
When she is eating the banana I pump in the medicine?
What I would dob us take a small bit of really really ripe banana (an inch or so). Mush it up really good. Add a small amount of the wormer, mix it in and see if she eats it.
Do not feed her anything else, so she will be hungry.
Just try to give her a piece and she if she likes it. If she does, then inject it in the middle and give her another piece.
Hey, it is a start.
For now put it in a tub, idealy with soil or coco coir, then put it in a room at room temperature. Away from bright lights.
