Tomorrow I will be getting panacur. The store that used to sell it no longer does and it took me a couple of weeks to locate a new source. Today I did. So, exactly what is the dose to weight ratio.If I remember correctly it is 10% soultion paste. I have many guys to treat, now that they are all up and out of hibernation. The russians are just up so they will have to wait a week or two until I am happy that they are eating well. Thanks.

: Well, since Sampson (my russian tortoise) refused to eat his panacur last time, I had to get a second dosage. I took a strawberry, hollowed it out, and filled the fruit with the worming medication. At first, he wouldn't eat it and it pissed me off, so I left the berry in his cage for a while... I came back 2 hours later, and the berry was gone. All that was left was a tortoise that looked like he had on lipstick! hehe.. it was great. I'll follow up the worming in about 2 weeks with another "Creme Filled Strawberry" and I should be good to go. Thanks to everyone for the help!
