Well, we took Little Guy to the vet, as he had red bumps on his tail, which have only gotten worse. Now his ears are filled with scabs. I have been treating him with an antibiotic (Baytril, I think). And recently, his housemate, Smokey, has been having the same symptoms. SO, I think that this is mites. I am going to the vet later this week, just to be sure. I was just wondering how I could clean the boys' cage.
I'm thinking of using diluted bleach, taking everything out of there (toys, hammock) and washing those thoroughly. I made this cage myself from scratch. One of the ramps is made of a carpet remnant. I would like to get rid of the carpet remnant, because it is too difficult to clean, but I was wondering what I could use in it's place?
What is the best way to clean their cage? I heard that I should get a shopvac/dustbuster, but I really, really don't have money for that right now. = ( Would my bleach idea work?
Thanks--I really don't want this to happen again!!
