I have a few ants in my cage and thought nothing of it until i saw about 8 bite marks on him. Is that ok? Should he be medically treated and how do I get rid of those ants!.

First thing is to find where/how the ants are getting in. Look for a line of them. Try going to your local hardware store and see if they have a liquid ant killer. Just place a few drops along the line of ants. They will eat it and bring it to the nest. This keeps the chemicals away from your cham.

For the bites, watch them very close. If they don't look like they are healing or look like they're getting worse, seek a vet.

I have been reading on some stuff and I think they are parasites. It didnt have these 3 days ago, but when I introduced a few branches from my backyard without cleaning them very well they showed up. Mites maybe? How do i treat them? Could they be internal?
