As soon as I saw the bugs I got rid of them straight away, last night and this morning. They are so very small and the cluster in the water bowl were white (babies maybe) and the couple of others I saw were brown (adults I assume).
Should I chuck everything away, all his spare food, treats, substrate etc or just remove everything that is in his cage?
What if they are possibly living on him though? I can't see any redness or bald patches.
I need to buy some more Kaytee Clean and Cosy bedding as I am getting low, should this be frozen for a week? I just don't know when to start the cleaning process!!
I use Mineral water from thr fridge.. maybe this is the problem?!
Nightmare!!
