Nematodes generally have a direct life cycle, i.e. eggs are passed in the bird’s droppings, which are then eaten by another bird which becomes infected. Some, such as gizzard worm, have an indirect life cycle – the eggs are passed in the bird’s droppings, the droppings are eaten by an insect, which is then eaten by another bird. Tapeworms have an indirect lifecycle while coccidia and other protozoa have a direct life cycle. The amount of Flubenvet used is based on the weight of the feed, not of the animal.

The reality is, however, that captive-bred wild animals are kept in home environments despite sometimes not meeting these criteria (e.g., some reptile and bird species). Because of this, the RSPCA has produced these articles on the care and welfare of a variety of commonly kept captive-bred wild animals. The aim is to help people better understand their animals as individuals and provide them with care that keeps them healthy and provides opportunities for positive mental experiences as much as possible in captivity.Due to the large nature of roundworms, they are easily seen at post-mortem and can be up to 12cm in length in the duodenum and ileum, an enteritis, inflammation of the gut, can also be present.
