Buck Grease, Mites or Lice?

Hey everyone, I am just wondering what this would be on my rattie? I took a video but I can't upload it unfortunately, it doesn't look like the little orange bits are moving and his skin is quite orange looking.

Definitely buck grease. How old is your boy?

Buckgrease. Less protein, IMO

If I remember correctly, Almond is around six months old now (judging from your last post, Aurora).

Neutering Almond can reduce the amount of buck grease he produces, as buck grease is just built-up testosterone in an intact male rat. Does it smell for you?
I have eight adult male rats, never really had a buck grease problem except for Owen, whose fur and skin is stained from buck grease. But, he's also a rex, making that even more obvious. Owen's a year and a half old at this point.

Yea, neutering will help, but i just dont agree with neutering for minor health concerns. And my Rex has a major problem with Buck grease. When i i received him (he's a foster) he was so bad his fur was matted down and sticky. Took me 3 scrubbing baths using Dawn and a toothbrush. And he still produces it, i just scrub him once a month.

Yeah, but scrubbing down their fur and skin with harsh soaps such as Dawn as a chance of drying out their skin. I'd use scent-less baby shampoo. I use Johnson & Johnson baby shampoo. I haven't had an issue with dry skin with this shampoo, and it just is less likely to hurt them.
