Rainbow Tortoise
New Member
I took my 1 year old Russian tortoise to the vets (just for a check-up) and they said they could worm him if he hadn’t already been wormed by the place we bought him from. I wasn’t aware the tortoises needed worming but the vet said that young tortoises that are kept together can often have worms when you get them. I went to the place I got him from (a garden centre) but they said they sometimes worm them but not all the time and that they don’t know if mine has been wormed. I am concerned about this as I don’t know if to worm him or not. The vet said it could be harmful for him to have too much worming stuff. Should I get my tortoise wormed? Any help is appreciated.
