Hello all!
I have a couple quick questions...
First, I am planning on doing a "parasite sweep," so to speak, on my geckos, having them all wormed, but with 25 to worm, I can't really afford to take each of the to an exam at the vets. So my question is, is it realistic to look for a vet who will provide me with enough medication to worm the 25 while only examining one or two? I know my usual vet will accept a fecal without an exam, but if it comes back positive, then she must see the reptile before she will prescribe anything. I can't afford $50 a piece for 25 geckos to be seen..any thoughts on this? Are there vets who will do that?
And my other question..I used to feed all my geckos individually and by tweezer every day, but I have since switched to having a dish of superworms available at all times along with being "hand-fed," but none of them seem the least little bit interested in the bowled worms. Don't even look at them! Has anyone else had this problem? They are see-through glass dishes so I know they can see them, so I am not sure why they do not seem interested.
Thanks for your help
