Over the holidays i ran out of hay and was unable to get to a petshop to buy more so i got some off my mum who buys it in bales from a farmer near her.
I use the hay to line his cage and also for him to eat, the problem is that when i just cleaned him out and went to put more hay in i noticed tiny little bugs crawling around in the hay.
I presume they are hay mites of some kind, now i don't know what to do as he has already had the hay in there for a week (with fresh hay everyday) and hay lining his cage.
Should i take the hay out or will it be ok? I don't want him to catch anything.....are these bugs harmful????
Any advice would be great.....
