I know this is late, but I've been working 2 jobs and overtime at one of them due to those wicked holidays.
I put some Vaseline on him where the mites are. He sure didn't like it and wasted his time trying to impale the poor cotton tip applicator. I have him in a plastic critter keeper (the plastic tank that they give you for hermit crabs and stuff) with just a moistened paper towel on the bottom.
1. How long should he be isolated in there to kill the mites?
2. How do I know if the mites are killed off?
3. Do I wipe the Vaseline off of him, and will it bother him if I don't get it all off?
4. I'm going to assume I should change out his entire tank. Should I even bother putting the moss back in or just keep it gravel and soil?
5. How do I prevent these things from coming back?
Sorry, I'm just trying to get it right this time! I put the Vaseline on him and isolated him around noon today.
