Flour mites 😫

Yes they do go over the top I wanted to give a little rescue guy a good home. I couldn’t have him because my house is not 1,20 x 50 cm
I think I am a responsible hamster mum, but it was a no.
I am waiting for Nibbles, as if he knows what I am up to. He’s been up twice snatched his veggies, been for a pee and goes back to bed.

I’m happy that you were able to clean the cage!! It’s certainly a mystery on where they came from, but hopefully it is all sorted out. I’ll be praying they stay away!! I still recommend a dehumidifier (apologies for being so pushy) as it can help them stay away. I got one on amazon for like $35. It also provides some white noise which I personally like!

You don’t realise how much dust settles on your bucatstate until your neurotically checking for bugs…

So far he seems happy enough. He’s not taken away anything from the pile of food in the MCH. He’s had a bath and a pee in his sand. Eaten his broccoli and walnut and had a run in his wheel tonight.

Will see what there is to see tomorrow morning… bugs probably

Fingers crossed no bugs And yes mine have tended to ignore the new food I've put in the house after removing hoard - but I think it makes them feel secure Mine have often looked bemused or confused and sniffed it and then just left it there. They don't take it because they didn't put it there

He seems happy enough-been busy in his wheel and sand and now taking food back to stash underground.

I’ve just seen a little bug wandering about on the slate under his water bottle again! All day spent and all the upheaval to Mr Maggie and apparently all in vain. I could cry.

Not sure what else i can do. If there is one there will be doubtless many more on the horizon.
