I swore I would never bring roaches into my house, but once you do it, it's actually no big deal. They are quiet, don't stink, don't jump, and are super easy to care for (it requires almost nothing if you're not breeding them). I use long tongs to pick them up and drop them into my beardie's...
Panacur is a wide spectrum dewormer, meaning it kills several different kinds of worms, as well as protozoa like Giardia. Strongid kills things in the strongyle family, which are roundworms and pinworms (and in large animals like horses strongyles). So between the two, it should work if you...

Oh, poor Mango! I just made a splint for an iguana, but I don't know how you would do a tortoise. Maybe treat it like people sometimes do cats- cage rest and let it heal. Eventually a callous will build up. Extra calcium during healing, perhaps calcium glucionate orally every day. Ugh, good...
