A warm bath in oiled water works very well for mites. When I had hedgehogs they came to me with mites and I let them swim in warm water with vegetable added. I dipped a cup and made sure they were covered with the mixture and let it sit on them for a few minutes before rinsing. They were a little greasy but it did a job on the mites. tle www.ferretfamilyservices.org [Posted in FML 5627]
