when my beardie had mites, I purchased a treatment spray from the pet store, specifically for beardies. I treated his cage and him, soaking and rinsing him well afterward. It's best not to spray your beardie directly -- I used a cloth to apply the treatment.



Another good idea is to lay newspaper down (if you use a substrate) for a few days just to make sure the little buggers are all gone. There were even mites hiding in the rock crevices! The newspaper just makes it easy to clean and re-treat if necessary until you know they are gone. That way you don't have to keep replacing your substrate (if you use any).
