Of course you can switch. But just remember, mites can come in waves, & take about a month for eggs to hatch, if I remember right, so don't be in too big of a hurry to switch. I'd wait about 45 days to make sure there's no "next-gen" mites. I can't imagine dealing with mites in a big collection. :taz:
Re: Testing and Quarantining
We used Frontline flea and tick spray last time and it was a miracle spray. So good.
Got all the test results back and half the new ones tested negative for Nido and IBD. Wasn’t able to get crypto testing this time but will monitor for any issues there.
Even though we are going to continue the quarantine, the negative tests really help with peace of mind.
