And after $57 (darn exotics vet) I discovered my rats don't have fleas. They have lice. Can you say nasty? So she recomends treating them with poultry dust until the babies are weaned. I asked her how long I should wait after treatment before feeding them to my snake and she just kinda looked at me like I was the most evil person alive. It probably didn't help that I had 6 cute little fuzzies in there with the mom, but I wanted her to understand how little these guys are. Anyway, she's going to look up the information and call me today, but does anybody else have any experience with poultry dust?



Also after the babies are weaned she wanted to start the mom on Revolutions treatments. I tried to explain that there are always babies in my colony and she told me spaying rats can help reduce the risk of mammary tumors. Where did she miss the fact that I want them to have babies so I can feed them to my snakes? Anyway, someone else here recommeded Revolutions too, but since it's a monthly treatment wouldn't it be bad to use on feeders?



One more question and then I am done. Does anyone know if Black Knight works on fleas and lice? I looked it up at ProExotics and I left a message for them but the only info I could find is that it kills roaches, ants, mites and ticks. Before I send them that much for insecticide I want to know if it will work for me. Also would it kill spiders?



Thanks to anyone who can help. I just want these bugs gone.
