Default Re: Is this mites? help

If it's moving then yes it will most likely be some kind of mite (there are many types) it could have come from things like substrate, wood, hay food or anything like that really.
I think all you can do is to do a compete cage clean, wash anything washable, either discard anything that mites could live in like wood or even cardboard or put them in the freezer for at least a week, throw out all the substrate, clean the tank thoroughly & start with everything fresh, check your substrate supplies & anything else that they could possibly have come from before putting it in the cage.
It will be stressful for your ham but I don't think there's really any option.
