Ok so good news is I got a beautiful girl tortoise today, she feels nice and heavy, big beautiful eyes and smooth shell, and she is definitely a she
Bad news is I got her home and soaked her and she is riddled with either worms or parasites! I don't know which as I've never seen before but there was an alarming amount and they were moving. Poor baby, I have put her in a viv with just paper and a little corner of coir which I will replace each day until she is clear. I feel so bad for her but don't want her to keep reinfecting herself.
I'm gona get a vet app as soon as I can but anyone know for sure what the little buggars are and anything else I can do for her?
