By the looks of it some of my mice have got mites. My guess is they are from the petshop mice
They seem to be blood sucking and they not only live on the mouse but also in the pineshavings(from petshop) they are even on some poor babies!!!
whats the best way to get rid of them quick and foreva, I don't want them to spread to my beloved rats.
the mites are black/red in colour and range in size.
please help me get rid of them!!!

I use revolution on my rats.
a tiny drop on the back of the neck.
I also spray my cages with the small animal mite spray.
and ...........QUARANTINE
