Panacur...

Derek Benson Aug 03, 2003 05:32 PM

Hey everyone,

Since I have been on here, I haven't heard of many people asking about panacur, which leads me to many people buying CB animals, or don't think of treating WC, which is fine. I happen to buy a lot of WC animals, because most of the ones I like aren't bred a lot in captivity. I have recently got a group of 10 S. pustulosa and had one die on me from being bloated. I had panacur just in case and today I went about trying to get it into their mouths. I have heard of applying it orally or on a cricket. I have the paste and everytime I put it on a cricket, they couldn't move and the frogs wouldn't see them. Today, however I put about 5 blots of panacur in the bottom of a tall deli cup and put in crickets and swished them around. Of course, many were caught in the panacur. I took a pop sicle stick (I buy loads because you never know when you need one, serious) and fished the cricket out that was covered in panacur and put ii in front of the frog and wham, ate it up. I did this for all my frogs several times and they got used to it. I then tried it without a crickert and jsut some panacur and they were so used to it, they snapped the panacur. I hope this helps people when aquiring WC animals and playing it safe. Good luck

Even CB frogs should get checkups every once in a while. Insects, fish, and other feeders can carry some nasty protozoans. My african bullfrog had like a 4 load of different internal parasites and was CB. Good idea to get fecals done on all new frogs regardless. Andy
