So.. super pissed, mostly at myself for letting this happen.
But when I pulled Herbie out today to look him over and give him a dose of his weekly love, I noted a small black fella roaming around on my hand after putting him back. We had a few issues with mites awhile ago with him, but after months of paper towels, PAM encounters, we thought that the mite issue was a thing of the past. We currently have four enclosures stacked. I do not believe that the others are having mite issues also, but I want to make sure. So I'll be taking all of the aspen out, cleaning the cage, and then going paper towel for awhile again.
My questions are these..
Is it possible to remove the aspen and then bake it at 350 for say thirty minutes so that I can re-use it, or is it best to just get new stuff?
Also, what is the best method for cleaning the enclosure? Should I PAM the inside then wipe it out, or is there a stronger cleaner that I should be using for that?
Why does my dog insist on licking his bum? Its freaking me out..
I think that I caught them early this time, although they probably never fully left him.. I hate that crap.
