I have read on here that pumpkin is good for deworming. Then I have also read that it's the seeds of the pumpkin that is the dewormer. Which one or both?

tortadise said:Its the seeds. But its very hard to give your tort ground up seeds, so ground the seeds up then puree it with the pumpkin because they will eat the pumkin. Keep in mind this is a homeopathic remedy, its not going to deworm like a panacur or flagyle will. It merely clears bad bacteria that is all. But it doesnt hurt anything.

Thanks. I don't think my little Leo has worms. Just wanted to be sure I new which one.
So, it won't hurt either then, to give it as a preventative either right?
