Mites.......I'm a sad Panda

[danab]

My one beardie Paprika that I got from a breeder online has mites. I had checked her over pretty good when she came home but she is orange/red and of course so are the tiny mites so I didn't see them. I didn't realize they were there until last week when one showed up on her underbelly. So I am now in mite removal mode and so frustrated.

Here's to hoping I can get rid of them before they spread (if they haven't gone a crawling allready). I haven't e-mailed the breeder since they would probably just say they came from my house etc. So far the other 6 are clean and its just her. I am going cross-eyed and just venting.

I did come across a cool mite photo here though.

I want to scream and pull my hair out LOL.

You might want to email the breeder regardless. They might say that the mites came from you, but if they're reputable breeders, they'll want to be notified just in case. Especially if they're sending off beardies with mites around the country.
