Actually treated the adults with the feline flea product Revolution...just put one drop on each rat and repeat in 1 month. Selamectin (active ingredient in Revolution) is in the same family as Ivermectin (the gold standard, apparently, for mite treatment). If you have cats, you should be able to pick up Revolution at your vet clinic! I even put a small drop on the 1 week old pups...I didn't have the heart to euthanize them and just hoped that the Revolution wouldn't kill them...so far, so good! Obviously, none of these guys will be fed off for months, so I'm not too concerned about the snakes...they've now got a plentiful supply of f/t.
