It might sound odd but I had an out break of little mites that came from a bit of organic broccoli that got buried & forgotten for a few days so mites (& there are just so many types of them!) can come from all sorts of things.
I would keep trying to figure out where they might possibly be coming from, as they’re not hamster mites I wouldn’t take him to the vet as it shouldn’t be necessary & may well just stress him out a bit.

Thanks Cypher. I know, I'm really perplexed! No, no other animals in the house... No kids either!
Oh - well that's a thought. I do wash his veggies but yes he does have organic broccoli on occasion... I am seriously so confused as to where the bugs are coming from! I wonder if I'm not freezing stuff long enough?? I usually do 48 hours or so. Absolutely, don't want to stress him out especially at the moment when he's new and timid!
