If one tortoise has got worms, does that mean they all have?

Merlin M · 26-09-2013, 09:33 AM

Do they live together?

The others may not have worms, I have done worm counts on my torts that live together and they were all different, x

Well some do. Males live on there own

If its one that lives on its own then I would just treat that one x

If your going to hibernate your torts Shaz, I would worm all your Torts and get it out the way before wind down?
I had a couple not so long ago with worms and decided to worm all of my torts, this is easier when you have a group so you know when to worm them again next time.
