Need Help - Stool Oddity

I beleive on ft rodents and such things like eggs of parasites can survive until frozen to a certain temp. So the time limit of freezing doesn't matter the temp does.

Man, this is why I'm glad I breed my own rats! I hope you get the medication in her, and at least you know what's wrong and it's treatable.

I think the most common species of tapeworms come from fleas. When an animal ingest a flea that is carrying tapeworms they can then become infested. There are many different species of tapeworm too. Some species are found in the feces of the host animal, I know raccoons are a common carrier of this type of tapeworm. A lot of parasites, especially those from colder regions can survive freezing temps for months, even years. I think as long as you keep your rodents clean (if you breed your own) or get them from a reputable source (if you buy frozen) you shouldn't need to worry about parasites.
