Mites

Question
Hello my rat has mites us there a home remedy to help her?

Answer
There is. First, how old is your rat, and is she a standard or dwarf?

If she's an adult (6 mo+) and of standard size, you can go to your local feed store and pick up ivermectrin in paste form (used as a horse wormer); dose your rat every two weeks with a small amount (the size of a grain of rice). I usually use a toothpick to measure it out approximately. Repeat for at least 2 doses, and if you need to, a third.

Keep in mind I am not a vet, I just do this at home.
