    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I acquired my pacman frog on sunday and it's the size of a quarter. Eating well and had a normal bm today. I decided to do a fecal at my job on it and found hookworms in the sample. My question is this..most amphibians are the intermediate host for these types of parasites and normally do no harm to the host. Is deworming considered necessary? If so, how is it done? I do have access to 3 amphibian vets but have not been able to speak to them due to their busy schedules. Thank you for your time and information.
 
Deworming on a baby pacworm is difficult only due to the very small dose you would have to administer. panacur (Fenbendazole) at 25mg/KG would work out to be around .30 mg for an average sized baby.
