My 2 albino girls occasionally have some blood in their fur. Not much, but since they're white I notice some brown (dried blood) staining on their shoulders. I can't feel any scabs and don't notice any significant cuts. They'll scratch but not often enough that it seems abnormal.
Just wondering what other tell-tales I should look for if it is a mite problem. I don't want to medicate if there isn't a real problem. It's difficult to trim their nails and it wouldn't be much of a stretch for them to have broken the skin during scratching. Added some lava ledge platforms and rock under their water but it isn't that much of a help. Ordering the insert for a wodent wheel this week to see if it works for rats.
Suggestions on how to proceed? Should I wait for the nail trimmer and see if it clears up? Order some revolution? Vet time?
