Hello....
Ok so I started out with my rat Dewey and she was so amazing I
really wanted another rat. A friend of mine works at PETCO and they
sell feeder rats and she had one in particular that she loved and
wanted to see saved so I took him in. Well after a week of having
him I noticed that he had........GASP!.......mites and that he had
also passed them to Dewey. I cleaned and THOROUGHLY bleached their
cages, the walls around their cages and the floor. I also bathed
them with a mite shampoo and that seemed to take care of the
problem. Well I went away last week and came back (my sis ratty sat
for me) and the mites had come back!!!! (It has been 3 weeks sionce
the first incident) but this time they are only in Huey's cage (not
deweys) I feel so bad that this has happened to Huey and Dewey and I
am completely grossed out! I gave them mite baths and did the whole
bleaching thing again but it didn't fix the problem last time. If
ANYONE has any advice i would GREATLY appreciate it!! HELP ME!!
THANKS!
