Hi, I am a new member and a new toroise owner having recentlyinherited my fathers 70yr old Whitei called 'Fred' which dad acquired from a rescue centre 25yrs ago.  Sadly my father died suddenly and I have little information about 'Freds' routine but he is a real character and seems to have settled in very well with me.  I knew nothing about tortoise care and do not think my dad did either although I have had 'Fred' checked over by a local tortoise group and he is very healthy and a good weight.  I am already very attached to him, I'm really enjoying getting to know his little ways and want to do mybest for him.  He eats well and I am trying to source and offer him the natural foods advised but I am no gardener so am having problems visually identifying the plants and weeds recommended, fortunately Fred seems to be able to locate what he wants and forrages around in my small/med but secure garden.  I would like to have him microchipped and wormed but have given him time to settle before wanting to put him through anything like this. His faeces etc. seem normal but how can I tell if he has worms?  How often should he be routinely wormed?  .

Hello,
