Alright, the bedding is dumped, the cage is washed out, the surrounding area has been bug spray/wiped. I don't see any more ants but I'm terrified to go to sleep!
I've got my guy out on my lap and he seems ok.
Ugh, this was just so disgusting! I panicked, and wrote too quickly. This stuff just always seems to happen at night. And no, I'd never leave him in there, at the very least I'd have moved him to a clean qt tub and left his cage outside or something.
Seriously though, does this kind of stuff happen to anyone else? Or am I just extra special?
