Can Rats Catch Dust mites. I have 3 rats in one cage 2 male rats in another and 2 girls in another but yet only the 3 rats Has mites. Only thing I can think of is dust mites but yet my room is clean because of my asthma and allergies. Can Rat get dust mites?
I have used carefresh bedding in the past One of my rats is allergic to it. The only freezer I have right now is the one that goes with the fridge I don’t think my parents will enjoy opening up their freezer and finding a big bag of bedding lol. I have called the vet and they said it sounded like lice but they def weren’t interested in seeing them today.

1if you use carefresh bedding, it sometimes can carry mites. To prevent it, the bedding should be put in a very cold place(like a freezer) before it is put in their cages. I suggest you bleach all of your rats cages so you kill all the mites and they don’t spread.
