So, on June 7th, I caved and picked up 2 gorgeous boys from our local pet store & put them directly in QT. They've been eating wonderfully, have great temperaments and have been relatively free of any health concerns. A few weeks after we picked them up, I noticed a few of those damn mites on one of them. I went absolutely loony while I waited for my PaM to get to our border mailbox. I soaked both of them & washed their bins every 2nd day & picked as many of the little hell raisers out of their scales as I could. The PaM came, I treated both enclosures, gave them a final soak & called it a day. I only ended up finding 2-3 dead on their paper towels. 2 weeks passed with no further sightings, but I gave their enclosures a second wash & spray down with PaM just for my peace of mind. I also treated our other 4 enclosures as well...just because haha. I'm pleased to say THEY'RE NOW GONE!
They've both had perfect sheds since the treatments and I'm sure they're far more comfortable.
Now, my question is, when August 7th rolls around, do you think it's safe to move them into the room with our other collection or should we wait until September? Could they somehow still develop an RI or would that have shown itself by now? Are there any other health issues that could present themselves between the 2-3 month mark?
