Wormies

[Kymiie]

I dont no how to word this but im sure you will get what i mean!

How do tortoises get worms?
What makes them get them most? Being out side?

What worming tablet do they have? cat/dog one? Reptile one?

Is one species more prone than another?

Can they get them if they live inside?

Do they kill tortoises?

anything you know please share, as I knwo they can get them but thats it i dont no how where when etc

thanks

Hi Thelma:

They love pumpkin, but it doesn't help to get rid of the tortoise's parasites. If you were to dry the pumpkin seeds and grind them up, sprinkling them over the tortoise's food, then THAT would help to eliminate a parasite load.
