A few questions - if one of them has a few parasites will both of them need tests/treatment? Could I give treatment to Bertie as well without getting him looked at too? They've been together all the time we've had them and living in the same conditions so is it even possible that only one of them will have the parasites?
It's £30 (~$45) for a consultation (I assume any treatment is not included in this fee); is that a standard charge for a vet? It seems a lot to me, but then I am a final year student...

Anyway, not fantastic news but it also seems as if nothing too huge is wrong and the previous issues were bark-consumption related.

(Also been reading threads about gut-loading and I've got the insects on a new varied diet which they (and hopefully the frogs) are enjoying!)
Yes, they will both need treated and you'll need to clean out their house. They will likely need Panacur once a week for 4 weeks. I would recommend this. Parasites do not go away on their own. I'm glad you had them tested. Their fecal exams should be negative for any parasites. There is no need to have a second fecal exam done for the other...it will almost certainly have the same parasites. I would keep them in a hospital tank until they finish the full treatment. This also allows you time to clean and kill any parasites in their home.
