Default Help! Tiny bugs in Hamster's food

I think this is the right place to post this? Forgive me if it isn't!!

Yesterday my mom put a piece of veggie on my hamster's wooden home for her to eat later. Around midnight, I was passing by her cage and there were tiny bugs all over the food. I checked her food dish and found a couple in there too.

The bugs are so small I would never be able to find them in the bedding! I checked her stored food and didn't see anything, but again they're so tiny I don't know if I missed any. I picked her up and looked through her fur as much as I could but didn't see anything there either.

I am going to clean her cage immediately, but I want to know what kind of bugs they are and how to prevent them in the future. I googled all morning but I could only find answers about bugs that were bigger than what I have, so I don't know if they're the same! I'm so anxious, please help.

All those tiny brown-ish specs are the bugs. The picture actually makes them look bigger than they are!!
