Can i worm the girls while one is in moult?
« on: January 30, 2011, 21:02 »
Just a quick question - now i've decided that one of my new girls is moulting, can they still be wormed or do i have to wait until she's finished?

Thanks

I think you should wait as moulting can be very debilitating and worming is just extra stress particularly if she's carrying a heavy worm load.

As HF says.  Unless she is obviously sick from worms leave it until she's recovered from moulting.

No thats fine, that what i thought, i've just got my mum visiting soon so i thought that would be a go time to worm them, ie i will be out and about so they won't be being left out, so i can't feel guilty for keeping them locked up  ;)
