Here's one I didn't find in the SEARCH.....

Do reptile mites cross species?????

Cat fleas like cats, but bite ppl..... Dog fleas like dogs, but bite ppl. Last I heard from our neighbor & public school..... Head lice like ppl, but don't like cats & dogs.

So do reptile mites like cats & dogs? I know they can be carriers & spread them, but would they be "victims"? Rat lice on cats & dogs? Or mites on rats?


Zeus has 'em & EVERYBODY's been treated, (I didn't think of mothballs in the vac. but I'm getting 'em in the morning. ) and my cats were flea'd about 2 wks. ago w/the Frontline....but besides carriers, do I need to be concerned about the cats? The rats are in a diff. room, but I'd hate to spread mites to the rats accidentally, esp. since (I think it was ) Butterscotch, despite quarantine, gave a couple of my guys lice. *Grumble,grumble* <Almost done w/the ivermectin there......>


Thanks!
