As of yesterday, my bearded dragon, Octavius, has been diagnosed with pinworms. I took him to the vet hospital on Thursday and just got the call about the results now. I will be picking up the medication tomorrow to start treating his pin worms. I have never had a dragon with this before so I am wondering a few things:
-is this contagious to other dragons?
I have had some suspicion that he wasn't doing well because he started head twitching a couple of months back. I have another female dragon, Lania. I have noticed that she has started to become lethargic too. Just as of the past month.
-what foods can cause this?
I feed my Octavius every other day. I feed him kale, collard greens, thin shredded carrots, mint leaves, a few calcium dusted superworms, and butternut squash (if I have it). I have also been supplementing him with Repti-cal phosphorous-free calcium with ViT. D3. every time I feed him. which is every other day.
I am very worried and paranoid that I am doing something wrong. I appreciate anyone here who can tell me they're experience on pinworms. as well as some basic knowledge that I am missing. Thanks!
