Loki, my dwarf is absolutely fine! I can't say for certain if he scratches a lot because mostly during the day he is buried underneath the substrate. He has never been super keen on wanting lots of attention, I think maybe because he came from a pet shop at 8 months old. He lets me handle him though but is definitely happier just doing his own thing in his cage.
These bugs really are a mystery! It is strange they are more around the water bowl than food bowl. Do you use tap or bottled water?
Is Johnson's Clean 'n' Safe fine to use as a disinfectant?
I think I will email my vets although there isn't really one there that specialises in rodents.
Thanks for your help!
