Absolute Tortoise Wormer+ is a flubendazole-based medication for use against intestinal helminthic worms and external ticks, to keep your tortoise in top condition and health. Worms are a fact of life for tortoises, which in the past has been responsible for many failed hibernations.
Every tortoise can carry its own complement of parasitic worms.
When in good condition and health, these worms are not a problem., but as soon as the tortoise is stressed or hibernating, its natural immunity is compromised and internal parasites can take hold.
This product will control tapeworms and other helminths, and help to ensure a successful hibernation. It is advisable to use this product again when any tortoise is waking from hibernation to help them recover and pick up strength quickly after a long sleep.
Tropical tortoises need only be wormed 2-4 times a year, whereas, with hibernating species, it is advisable to worm before hibernation and again upon waking from a long hibernation period for safe recovery.
For maximum protection, use every three months, the same as you would treat a cat or dog.
Dosage:
Medicated Bath:
Use 0.3g, or one level 0.5 ml scoop (included) per 2 litres of lukewarm bathing water, or sprinkle over enough food for one meal per animal to be treated.
Medicated food:
It is a good idea to gently mist warm water over any food to allow the powdered medication to stick to the food before it is consumed. This is the best way of administering.
Heavy infestations This treatment can be safely re-dosed again if a second treatment is necessary.
The correct dosage to cover all weights of tortoises is per animal:
From (25 grams to 250 grams) = x 1 Level scoop

From (2.5 kg and over) = x 3 Level scoops
