If they've never been treated with anything, I'd be more inclined to jab them with ivermectin/noromectin now to ensure they're not trying to cope with a worm burden while growing.
Your vet should be able to do it easily and give you tips on injecting while they're at it  ;) Better to treat now IMHO.
