Thank you NIX

[knads06]

Well my new lil bp was being taken over by mites so today i tried the NIX treatment everyone has talked about and so far it worked great. I sprayed his entire body with it and let him sit there for a minute or two then rinsed him in a clean bowl of water. I was amazed at how many little black dots came off of him. THere were a few big enough that i could see so i just grabbed those and immediately popped them. I then dumped everything from his enclosure into a trash bag and threw that out. I then sprayed his entire tank and everything he had in it, water bowl, wooden log etc. Rinsed everything and dry it all. Im now using paper towls as a substrate so ill be able to if the mites return. I was using the ground up paper stuff before, i liked it but it was very difficult to notice the mites. What exactly in the Carefresh or pelletized paper i hear about?? HOpefully the lil guy will eat now that we've taken care of this problem. Ive had him for two weeks and he is just a baby so hopefully he'll eat now that he's mite free. THank you everyone for your help and input in this matter. I know its constantly talked about but it helps to get new up to date info from people every once in a while.
