If you are intent on worming them, please do a couple of fecals ( spaced a week or two apart ) and determine what you are trying to de-worm. Otherwise you are just going to stress out a already delicate genus. Stress = death in these guys, especially if they are imports that have been held in Madagascar for a good while and are closing in on renal failure. I've had better success leaving them alone and letting themselves cycle any parasites out. It may take longer, but they'll do it just fine ( unless they are stressed/kept in sub-par conditions ). If you do get positive fecals, all you need is a good book to indentify parasites, and a reference book on proper medication dosages. Some medications can be found in feed stores, others you'd have to get from a Vet.
