I would always recommend taking your tort to a vet for an MOT as well though but the active ingredient is a slightly more soluble form of the one used in Panacur.

Bless their little hearts! It was the old 'shed some weight and run away quicker' ploy.

Give them some time and they'll be running towards you, mouth first.

Reminds me of a set up I saw with Uromastyx and torts - at least these were both diurnal vegetarians. I'd worry about one species disturbing the other with their alternate day/night...

Silly question but was it white?

I think they swallow stones and small bits of bone as a calcium source but have only an elemental grasp of geology! If it's white it's worth a go..

I believe that the active ingredient is Flubendazole, a more soluble form of Fenbendazole, which is the active ingredient in panacur - kind of 'all roads lead to Rome'...

Given the tendency for these frogs to be male, I'd think of some boy's names!

How about Ferdinand and/or Floyd? The freckled ones tend to be from Papua New Guinea so perhaps looking at an atlas...

I must admit that I feed varied amounts depending on temperature. On hot, sunny days I feed more, as activity is greater and food is more easily processed. If outside temperatures are low (relatively...
