Redfoot of his food
My redfoot has been of his food for a week or so now, and his poop has become loose. Could this be worms? Would it be worth worming him just incase? He has a munch of his zoomed forest tortoise food and fruit but is off his weeds, he usually gobbles up his dandelion, but hasn't even touched it the last week. Thanks in advance x

Anyone? Should I worm or get his poop tested first?

Sounds like more of a protozoa problem than worms. Be worthwhile getting a stool sample tested for worms and protozoa.
