What substrate are you using? My pastel got mites and I still have no idea if it came from the rep shop when I took her back in for help with a stuck shed or from her substrate I had recently changed.
I was using aspen and I have started to read that aspen can carry mites (not sure about other types of substrate) I switched to paper towels and have never looked back! You can bake aspen in the oven at 300 Fahrenheit and spray it well before use for complete peace of mind but I honestly swear by a paper towel substrate now and since doing so I haven't seen a single mite again!
I used something called Callington Mite Spray but I am UK based and no where stocks P-A-M so this is what I used, two treatments and they were gone!
Make sure you scrap all corners of the enclosure for stuck eggs and I'm sure you'll get rid of the crittersI sometimes think dealing with these early on is helpful (looking back I realise I found it helpful) as you'll automatically know in future what to look for and what to do. Good luck OP
