parasite myth...

hey everyone
a friend of mine just gave me a sav that doesnt look good. he is very skinny. he said that it was a wild caught and the guy that imported him didnt treat him for any parasites. he also told me he heard that feeding the sav's prey raw pumpkin would clean out any worms... is that true?
and where can i get some commercial stuff?
thanks

Re: parasite myth...

i'd say the same mate,take him to the vets for a check up.it may be a good idea to take some fresh poo with you so they can run tests on it.
cheers shaun

Re: parasite myth...

Can you post a picture so we can try and figure out what is wrong. Thanks.
