So we have had a major mite problem. After completely cleaning viv several times and spraying down with Reptile Spray and going through 2 bags of aspen substrate, I am hoping to be free of mites! My poor baby!!

We decided to try shredded paper 1. its cheaper since we are going through so much right now 2. I havent read anything saying it isnt good for her
3. I had her in shredded paper while we cleaned out her cage and she seemed to like it.

So my questions are: opinions on shredded paper? opinions on mites? How can I keep this from happening? What a pain in my arse!!
My other concern is my baby likes to soak in her water bowl and while I was cleaning her cage she soaked and came out getting her shredded paper all wet and then stuck to her. This made me wonder if the shredded paper was a good idea?? I just dont know what to do and I am a worried mommy.
On top of this, I think she might be getting ready to shed. Her eyes are a bit cloudy. She refused to eat on Sunday (her regular eating day). We feed her one small mouse once a week and normally she is a very eager eater. She has never refused a meal.




Thanks in advance
