Found tiny brown bugs in Lithir's cage
The night before last I lifted Lithir's hide so I could feed him. (He refused to eat) When I was about to pick him up, I saw a small brown bug crawl beside him on the substrate. Then I looked closer and I noticed more bugs. There was a bit of fresh poo under the hide, but I always clean up poo as soon as I see it.
I removed Lithir and cleaned his tank completely, but I found that the wild mouse that we had in the house recently chewed up the substrate bag in many spots.
The bugs were very small and looked like little beetles... kind of like brown mealworm beetles but much smaller.
Should I be concerned? Or is everything okay now since I dumped the buggy substrate?
