I don't want to take my turtles to the vet. They have white worms, what can I give them to deworm them.

well the best way to find out what is wrong with you turtle is taking it to a vet, and if you care you should other wise it probably die from those parasites.

Well why the hell not?! A major part of owning a pet is keeping it healthy. If you wanted an animal that didn't require vet attention, you should have gotten a goldfish.
Be a responsible owner: either take them to the vet or give them to someone who will.

A knowledgeable reptile vet needs to identify the worms and prescribe the correct medication and dosage based on weight. Part of pet ownership!

Whatever you do,don't worm them yourself,because some over the counter wormers are deadly to turtles.You need to ask a vet or calll your local zoo to find out what kind of wormer to use.

Sorry but i think you should CALL the vet and ask or say should i bring her in. Because that sounds unusual
