Well this morning I was inspecting the baby fuzzy rats like I do everyday and I held one of the berkshires.
I noticed little brown bugs stuck to his skin...friggin great!
My dogs just had some feas and now it looks like I have rats with lice.
Im sure my adults have had the bugs for quite some time and just passed it to the babies through nursing...Is there any sort of oral or topical treatment available for rodents? I assume most people wouldnt care about this stuff but I dont want my breeders infested! And I dont know if this kind of louse can be spread to humans or my dogs etc.
I was able to put a couple bugs on a paper towel and take some pictures.
Keep in mind these are FUZZY rats, so the hair in the pic is a couple milimeters long if even. The bug is VERY tiny and was hard to see any detail with the naked eye. If anyone has any info on a treatment or what to do I would appreciate it!
