I'm glad Tallula is doing well now.
Penelope didn't go #2 before the last (and her first) heatlhy-tort VET visit so we couldn't do the fecal test.
This post got me thinking...
Do you all think it's important to get fecal test done before they go to hybernate?
I am thinking that because then if the worms/eggs can be found/taken care of and do not have chance to occupy tort's intestine for such long time? That seems like it would impact the tort really badly, if s/he held on to them for so long. Parasites do not go dormant when the hosts go to sleep, I'm sure.
