Hello, this is a tricky question as tortoises can have very serious sensitivities to some deworming medications. Therefore, I strongly recommend you bring your tortoise to have an exam by a veterinarian. They can test the feces and tell which parasites might be present and then choose the safest and most effective medication. Please, do not give ivermectin to any tortoise.
