Oh no! I was looking in Ramona's tank today (which is currently lined in white paper towels) and I see some teeny tiny black specks---and I saw one move! (Like the size of pencil points)![]()
I'm really bummed---are these mites? And if they are, can someone please help tell me what to do?!
Background: I got Ramona from a rescue about 5 weeks ago. She's an amazing eater, tank is set up appropriately, and last week she had a perfect shed--so her health appears to be good. She's overly fond of her water dish, perhaps due to these awful little specks. I had her on newspaper initially, but just switched her to white paper towels (simply because I didn't have newspaper---but boy am I glad that I did).
I can't bear the thought of her being uncomfortable :cry: Please help!
