Please read dosage amounts below carefully. Can be used as a regular routine wormer every three to six months if your tortoise is living outdoors, if indoors, worming once every 12 months is recommended.

Directions for Feeding:
Weigh, as accurately as possible, the total body weight of tortoise to be treated. Lightly mist the food to be treated with water prior to medication to help adhere the wormer to the food.
Use 1 level 0.5ml/0.3g, scoop provided, per 120g of body weight, lightly sprinkled over the daily feed. Dispose of unused medicated food.
If treating more than one tortoise we recommend each tortoise to be separated during medication to enable more accurate treatment.
One 5g sachet treats 2kg of tortoise body weight.
One 20g sachet treats 8kg of tortoise body weight.
DO NOT OVERDOSE.
Directions for Bathing:
Use a suitable container so your tortoise can stand comfortably with the bathing water level at the plasteron of the tortoise. This will allow the tortoise to drink and be able to lift its head above the water easily. Use 1 level 0.5ml/0.3g, scoop provided, per 800ml of lukewarm water. Stand the tortoise in the water for 20 mins.
One 5g sachet treats 53.2 litres of bathing water.
