Terrafaune rid-worm??
Has anyone ever used this stuff?? I'm using it for my geckos right now, but how often do you do it?? I was told my one gecko has worms so I'm using this stuff on all of them. I don't know for sure if she does or not, I'm waiting to be able to take her to the vet. Anyway in the mean time how often do I use it and also does anyone know if it works or not?? It does not say how often to use it.

Is that the stuff with the wormwood in it, that's primarily herbal? I wouldn't trust it, no...doseage with such a dangerous herb would be too difficult to calculate...unless they put so little of it in, it won't actually do anything. Don't use it.

I havent heard of the stuff your using nor is it in the book that i have.
How do you know your leo has worms? What kind of worms are they? Who gave you this medicine and why didn't they tell you the doses?
Different kinds of worms need to be treated with different kinds of dewormer. So depending on the type of worms your leo has would depend on the correct dewormer.
You said you gave all of your leos this medicine how did you determine the dosage they should have. specially if they are different sizes then they need different doses.

The stuff I got was a general dewormer. It's for like when you get new geckos you use it. I have a friend with some leo's and has had them get worms and based on that they said she has them. I'm not doing anything major until she see's the vet. I just gave them each one drop, that's it. I bought the stuff myself from a petstore. It's just to prevent my other geckos from getting them and also maybe it will help the affected one.

I know this is an old post but I know someone who uses it and she says for leos she gives one drop every day for 5 days then stops for f5 then treats again for 5 days. And the herbal stugg is Para-zap it is awesome, but a little pricey to import from the US. But you can't od on the herbal stuff either.

People often forget, though they are herbals, they are still meds. Many of them may be more forgiving in dosing, but they still can be overdone.

The bottle did not come with one. I'm taking it to the vet wednesday (the soonest I could get her in) so I should be getting some other stuff. Another question is what kind of stuff should I be getting from the vet?? I know there was one kind that someone said was bad to get it killed their gecko??

It all depends on the type of worms your leo has on the kind of medication it will recieve.
