Thanks paste should come today and going to try cucumber method. Didn't feed torts yesterday (despite their stomping) and hopefully they will lap it up

I've used the Panacur liquid for my torts but it can be quite tricky to get their mouths open. I've just wormed one with the panacur granules, harder to work out the dose but really easy to get them to eat it. Just sprinkle it on their food, it hasn't any smell or taste so they don't even know its there

You can get both from Pets at home.

The paste ended up being a nightmare. They wouldn't eat cucumber. So ended up putting it in the tip of a strawberry each and left tem with it until they finally ate it.

Dosage quite hard to work out too but hopefully we are good to go.

yeah i found the dosage hard to work out but read its hard to overdose them, no adverse effects to the torts so no worries there. my tim eat the cucumber straight away, he loves it and strawberries didnt even notice the paste i dont think

Ironically the lower figure is for the grumpy one. Now worried about what I did wrong.

Off to the vet for some worming ASAP.

A quick update Fred had a re count this week and the results are great

Test Date 24.09.12
Name Fred
Oxyurids 100 epg
Ascarids <20 epg
Protozoans None seen
Recommend monitor and count again in 6 months

so really pleased ... just need to get george to poo and mind will be at rest...

Aye granules are by far the easiest, it's a tiny amount required and can be put on a bit of strawberry and hand fed to make sure it has been eaten. http://www.nutrecare.co.uk/Product-1...nacur-granules

Is it necessary to change the enclosure to prevent reinfecting?
