[QUOTE="Sabeth, post: 14788, member: 545"] Yes! Mite checks for these Ts should be made more often, preferably once a week. Since constantly wet conditions almost guarantee a mite problem despite your best efforts, when you have a swamp-dweller it's a good idea to have a spare cage ready, kept dry until an emergency arises, at which time it can be moistened and the T switched to it. Babies are less of an issue since they're not on wet sub all their lives (usually just until they reach about 2 inches), although they still need to be monitored for mites/fungus. I recently had to completely change my genic sling's sub when I noticed a tiny tuft of mold. Catching such things early is the key. [/QUOTE]
