I started my rodent collection off with breeders that I treated thoroughly with Ivermectin, which is extremely effective at eliminating internal and external parasites in rodents. I haven't had any sick or itchy ones and am as confident as possible that my feeders are parasite-free. I will admit, however, that I have never specifically tested any of my feeders for parasites either.
