My daughter works for petco and she told me that two of the new hamsters they just got have mites. they have been isolated in another room. Are the mites that affect mammals the same that affect snakes. When she got home i had her shower and run her clothes through the wash. She normally doesn't go near the isolation room, but has been extra careful not to even go in the room. Am i being a little paranoid, or should i get some prevent a mite.
