Hey all,

Just something I've been meaning to ask - is seeing a black mite on a frozen thawed rat a big issue? I've seen this, and though the mite is dead, is there any way that the mites can be transmitted to snakes in this way? Is it normal to see mites on feeder rats, or should I try buying my rats elsewhere? I currently buy them where I've always bought them for my ball and boa - reptile shop.
If it is recommended to change, does anyone know of any good online rat shops that do delivery in the UK?
