Just a friendly reminder...

Protozoa seems to do much more damage in the long run the any nematode. Protozoa would be addressed with Metranidozole/Flagyl.


>>Hey All,
>>
>> i am writing this for a friend, she bought her fiance wild caught Large yellow foots, she found ticks on the male and pulled them off and aparently he is doing fine, eating drinking and being active. now the female on the other hand is being lethargic not eating or drinking, now i am sure they are under a good amount of stress from just being shipped around, as any tortoise would be. being wild caught i suggested to get it on a slight regimine of panacure to rid it of any possible paracite infestations, and make sure the heat and humidity is up to par and give her a nice humid hide, if anyone can suggest any other ideas it would much appreciated, personally i have not dealt with much wild caught specimens so if you have please give your $.02
