    Thanks. I will follow the directions. Any tips for P.A.M?

    Keep anything alive 9except for mites of course) as far away from the stuff as possible. seriously this stuff is scary if you read what it can do. only spray it in a well ventilated area (I would do it outside) NEVER spray down the BP as this will likely kill the BP and make sure it has completely dried before you put your BP back in the cage.

    For dealing with mites in general you want to replace whatever substrate that you use with paper towels for now Mites cannot hide in them and mies are easier to see on the white paper towels. Keep the cage as simple as possible. if you have a log hid just throw it away (or bake it in the oven) Keep the cage like this

    You should soak your BP in warm water (mid 80's) with a drop of Dawn dish soap in it. this will help to get the mites off of your BP and help give him some relief.

    Thanks for all you advice and help. My BP is really flipping out, I don't think he can sleep. He keeps soaking him self than running around the cage than going back to the bowl. He is awake during the daytime and I hear him crashing around at night. I ordered the P.A.M and I hope it comes quickly. I found maybe about a dozen plus mites in his water bowl. :(
