hi, i need help,
over the summer, i'm gonna have to live with my brother cuz he lives very close to my summer job/intern (or else, i gotta commute close to 100 miles back and forth
every day), problem is, he got a hamster, and i'm pretty sure his hamster has mites (cuz i've got bitten). my question is, how is it going to affect my baby star (5-6 months)?
what can i do to prevent my little girl from getting her fluid sucked by these little monsters? someone suggested putting mites strips on the door and changing the substrate of the
hamster into cedar chips, is this okay? i just need more opinions from many people.... thanx.... any advice will be appreciated.....
