What does lice look like? Does it look like they have dandruff in their fur (the nits I suppose?) and little brownish bugs? They do have some scabs, that's what made me check in the first place.
I think my girls have lice...if not then something similar.
1) I understand it is species specific but can my gerbils and hamsters get it as well?
2) Revolution would work right? Do I get this from the vet...bringing the six of them in for some revolution sounds expensive. Can you buy it online?
3) Will I need to clean everything after the revolution, like the entire room that they're in or just their toys, cage and supplies?
4) And to make my Mom happy....humans can't get it, right?
I don't know how they got it. I usually freeze all of my bedding. Actually my neighbour brought over a bag of carefresh that I never got around to freezing. I guess that could be the cause. I feel so bad about this and my parents are making me feel like I'm some bad owner. Anyways is there anything else I should know?
*edit* I was reading some older posts on revolution and a few members mentioned the pets-megastore to order it from, so I think I will do that. I have six rats (plus 2 gerbils and 4 hamsters if they count) how much will I need and what kind? Also how much do they each get?
