Pinworms? How bad can that be to cause all that suffering!!!
So glad he is making good progress.

I have no idea. Although he has never been checked so I have nothing to go off. I never saw the need to as he was always healthy, eating and had normal poo but have now learned my lesson and will get him checked at least once a year. He has lost his appetite again because of second round of worming like I feared, still looks a lot better though! He should eat again in no time :)

Little update for you all. Speedy has begun to eat again after second round of worming so hopefully this is it now, well on the way to recovery. He’s legs look stronger, still not walking but he can rest on them now and slightly lift his shell. Still only eating lettuce however I’ve sneaked some of his pellets onto the mixture so he might take a bite or two. Thank you again to everyone who replied you were all a fantastic help ??
