1. Treat - treat them with Panacur and Flaygl

2. Substrate - get yourself some cypress mulch and potting soil - mix it up and put a nice layer of it in the cages.

3. Hide - get a low lying tight fitting hide and cover it with the cypress mix.

4. Isolation - cover their rack spaces so they won't be able to see any of the movement around the rack. If your rack levels are open to the above tub - leave a blank level and cover that as well.

5. Leave them be for a couple of weeks (don't enter)

6. Feed attempt - African Soft Furred Rat, Gerbil, Hamster, Small dark colored rat (wean size) or Large dark colored mouse. Put a bit of rodent food in the tub so the feeder has something to nibble on if it gets hungry - drop it in the tub and leave it over night.

Good luck.
