[QUOTE="Sabeth, post: 31130, member: 545"] Hi... Do a nightly mite-check for starters. Either in the middle of the night or after the lights have been out for a few hours, get up and shine a flashlight into the cage. (Don't turn on any big lights.) Look at the walls, sub, water dish, and any decor. If you see tiny points of light moving around, you've got mites. In this case I'd throw out the sub, wash out the cage, and put in fresh sub. Give the decor a good cleaning, too, if it's safe, or replace it. Unless you're housing a baby T under 2 inches or a swamp-dweller, keep the cage dry, with the exception of the water dish. [/QUOTE]
