Hi,

the most important thing is to have a fecal done and treat the animals accordingly. Most wc tokays are loaded with Coccidia and also often with Hexamita and Oxyura.

Upon the stress of transportation, Pet shop live etc, their parasites almost always have run out of balance and have become live threatening.
So treatment is almost obligatory.

In Parallel do feed about a pinky a week -if they take ist and add Butterworms, Roaches , Waxworms and Superworms to their diet. All these are good stuff to quickly fatten them up.


Good luck

Ingo
