Hi everyone, I rescued my 2.5 year old Horsefieldii about 3 weeks ago, and today I learned from the lab that he has worms and nematodes, from the fecal samples I provided. I’ve read that this is more common when the tortoise is wild caught. I thought we had stopped importing this vulnerable species - I live in the UK.
For context - I believe the people who sold him to the people I got him from had two other tortoises. The latest people had only him and had him in the garden quite often. He wasn’t in very good health when I got him, but he’s improving.
Any thoughts, guys?
