Does anyone have any experience with deworming box turtles and if it's necessary? I have a wild caught eastern box that came to me over the summer as a rescue that was injured and I have never dealt with deworming them as I always release them back. This one unfortunately is completely blind and will remain captive.

It's my understanding that the treatment is not just based on the tortoises size but for the specific type(s) of parasite as well.
So knowing what or even if treatment is needed is required.
