Can people please share the names of the Worming solutions/liquids whatever that they use with their tortoises?

Thanks

Panacure
Safeguard- you can get a large tube of it for horses or cattle at the feed Store.
Very safe to use.
DO NOT use Ivermectin.

Safeguard.... is that the same as the dog one?

 

[Laura]

I dont know about a dog one..
there is a heartgard.. and that is BAD for torts.. one reason you dont want torts eating dog poop...

I will try to get the Panacure... but my mum is coming from Australia soon and can get the Safeguard... so she will try to find out if it can be given to tortoises.

Safeguard = Panacure..
Horse/cattle wormer paste. Not pills.
And its does come in dog stuff too. but prob costs more and might be in pill form.
Contact your Tort Vet for dosage. There are different strengths.
