I know for a fact that zoo's when they take in a wild caught animal will treat them with various meds after doing a fecal. The animals are isolated and are not included into the collection until after 4 clear fecals. If an animal has parasites or other intestinal issues, I am very sure that changes in husbandry will affect them. I am working with Fringe-toed sand lizards and have had a heck of a time with these because wild caught animals are heavily paratiszed. So as a general rule I have often found that if my Hl starts loosing wieght and gets droppy eyes and doesn't eat or just the opposite keeps eating for some time but continues to loose wieght, I don' think the panacur is a bad consideration although not being a vet there are obviously a host of other possibilities. If you use panacur paste you can put a dab on a cricket and the Hl's will eat the criket. I do several crikets depending on the size and wieght of the animal and do it once then 10 days late again - I know other people who use parazap? Anyway this whole field needs to be exp;ored more by our vet people who are majoring in that field, I understand some protozoas have not been identified, it would be interesting to get into the micro-flora of some of our desert lizards........
