PLEASE HELP!!! my asf rats have mites.

nyc_reptiles Aug 11, 2010 03:07 AM

I picked up a 2.3 group of asf's about a month ago and I been hoping to get some breeding good and hoping for the best and I go to clean there tank for the 3rd time since owning them and today I noticed some mites on the bottom of the tank, in the aspin bedding but didn't really bother check them to much just placed them in a seperate container, tossed the tank out, wipe down the area with bleach but have no idea on how to treat these rats.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. My snakes are in another room but I'm worried about them as well, I've treated them before with no pest stripes, would this be a good option to treat the rats and area living area?

Thanks

Are you sure they're not wood mites that came in the bedding?
Check your bedding.
