    Red face Would DE(Diatomaceous Earth) affect breeding or follicle formation?

    hi guys,

    just wanted to get your opinion about using DE this breeding season. I have a lot of mites showing on my feeder rats, and i got a bag of DE right here ready to nuke those mites but before I start killing them, would there be any adverse effects on breeding or follicle formation? since of course i feed the rats to my ladies...

    sorry if this sounds kinda stupid but asking wouldn't hurt right?

    Can anyone answer his question? I have the same question in my mind. And do you mind sharing me on how to use the D.E food grade in treating your rats from mites .

    Why not? Where the hell is the infestation coming from in the first place? Maybe you should address that first!

    snake mites only live on snakes and certainly not on rats, so they must be a different type of mite or lice etc.
