After losing Bmo today I decided to bath Lemon as he looked really dirty, I thought it could just be that oil that they give off but thought some nice bonding over a bath would be nice too.
When we were drying him off a bit we found he is covered in mites! I've no idea how. I haven't checked the other boys yet. he is really skinny but never stops eating. I thought it was just him as the others are normal size. But can mites make rats skinny.
I'm going to get stronghold as I heard that was best. I just need advice on how best to dose him and the other boys and how to get rid of the mites.
I've a new cage coming on Wednesday as theirs is broken and they are just living in the top half which is too small for them all. I'm guessing this will help as I can start a fresh with new toys bedding etc. any other ideas?
