So its 4 am and I went to fish some poop out of my tigers water dish and put it and the net in a bowl of water so i could clean everything tomorrow and as I look closer I see several tiny worms. They are white and roundish. What should I do? He hasn't been eating because he just went through metamorphosis (6 days since he has eaten) Is there an at home treatment? Or do I need to dip into the college fund and take him to a vet? P.S. He was wild. Parents found him on a 4-wheeling trip. Brought him home to me... Help would be extremely nice. Fingers crossed that I don't throw myself into a panic attack! I added a picture of one of the worms |

Are you sure they're not worms from the tank? Microfauna in the tank is common, normal, and healthy. That being said, all wild animals probably have parasites of some sort. I have never wormed any of my wild-caught specimens. The not eating is from morphing. That's quite common. Just keep offering food as normal. Try different foods: earthworms, waxworms, crickets, etc.
