Not treating wild caugh for parasites, pros and cons?

[infernalis]

WC captives will have only the parasite loads with which they arrived, and most such infections will decline over time as adult parasites die off -- unless the animals are reinfected via their prey.

TBH l only treat if there is a problem,l'm a bit against blanket treating animals to me its a mis-use of antibiotics and pesticides

This is interesting; do you think a wc from 2011 would still have worms/internal parasites? It hasn't eaten anything that would have a high parastite load, except some tuffy minnows he ate when I first captured it. Im considering finding a cb mate for him but I'm worried he might have parasites because he was wc.
