Lily has Pinworm

Well my little Girl hasn't been herself lately. She was just laying around doesn't want to do anything. She is basking all the time but she eats her Crickets but the greens she hasn't touch lately.
So I thought I better get her poop to the Vet and get it checked. He said: She got a couple of pinworms, nothing crazy, no coccidia or anything, but just to be safe a couple of doses of Panacur and that should help some with the runny poo, he said.
Is there anything else I can do to make my Girl feel better.
These are her first Worms and mine to.
I know she got them from the Cricket and now I'm wondering what else I can feed her as a Staple apart from Crickets. Here in Canada we can't get Dubia. I would appreciate some help in finding a good Staple apart from Crickets.

I suggest picking up some probiotics to offer to replenish her beneficial gut bacteria. A few pinworms shouldn't be much of an issue and the Panacur should clear it up quickly. Where were you getting the crickets? If they were kept in sanitary conditions they shouldn't cause a problem. Changing sources may be OK. You could also pick up some black soldier fly larvae to use as a staple but they are more expensive and quite small so you need lots of them.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
