I hate tropical rat mites. How does something SO SMALL hurt so much when it bites!
It's funny that they showed up after I bought a bale of aspen shavings at PetCo.

I haven't see any in the snakes' enclosures but the poor mice are full of them.

The mice and my pet rats got sprayed last night and have a flea collar hanging above their house, now.

If they bite me, it looks like a hornet stung me.
I must be really sensitive to stuff like that.
