Perhaps you did use too much, but then I have to ask this question. Can the strips have cause the deterioration of the brain cells THAT FAST? Perhaps the mites caused this?? As far as how much to use....read the label. It does tell you how much to use. Of course you need to figure the size for your cage. I have used 1/4 inch by 1/2 pieces inside my largest cages (72" visions). It seems lie a very small amount, but it was enough to work. I always stayed on the much lower end of the required amount since air circulation was also a factor. Also the holes in the plastic jars were pin holes, nothing bigger. I'm sure this had an affect on the release of the chemical as well. Just some food for thought.

It's always best to research as much as possible before you use anything. As with all living things, some may react differet than others...even within the same species. You need to monitor and adjust as often as necessary.
