ROUNDWORMS/NEMATODES>>>>>>good or bad???

cv768 Jun 02, 2004 11:47 AM

It seems our adult mali male who is most likely wild caught...has nematodes or roundworms in his feces...

My question is...

Should we use fenbendazole or ivermectin to kill the parasites or is it healthy to have them for digestion?

Also, if it is healthy...how do you know when there is an excess of nematodes and what is a recommended frequency for treatment???
