Grrrrrr

So a while back, I had a trip to Ren's where I got food and a big bag of aspen. While cleaning out Fred & George's cage this afternoon I noticed that they had scabs on their backs. I moved onto Tempie & Teller's cage, and the same thing. UGH! Closer inspection of everyone.....I'm pretty sure I'm dealing with mites. Grrrrrrrr.

I have two tubes of Revolution (kitten) and can't do everyone with it. Should I use the two that I have today and treat the remainders on Tuesday at my next vet appointment? Or should I wait to do them all on the same day?

Anyone want a huge bag of aspen? :laugh4: Just kidding. It's going in the trash.

Can't you just freeze it?

 

[Moon]

Freeze the aspen bit by bit... don't waste it!

I would treat them all on the same day.

That is so frustrating! I'd treat everyone together.... and freeze that aspen.

good to know, that's where i get my aspen. but i treat my guys monthly during the warm months, i find it less troubling then freezing the aspen with the limited space. winter makes a nice freezer though. but you have a lot more rats then i do!

Hee hee. How long should I freeze it for?

 

[Maple]

48 hours is good but 72 (3 full days) is the best. It takes 72 hours for the full bag (outside to inside) to completely freeze and kill everything that can possible be in there.
I freeze everything from bedding to wood houses, food and toys.

 

[Moon]

I freeze new toys also.
