Can't Get Rid of Crab MITES!

Post by Guest » Fri Oct 10, 2014 2:07 pm

After a week and a half of daily salt water baths and life in an isolation tank, Sheldon STILL has mites. I've followed the directions on your other page. Is my only option left the predatory mites? And where can I get them? I'm supposed to leave on vacation soon and won't be able to talk the pet sitter into daily baths! If I do order the mites, should I put Sheldon back in with his two friends so that he has one less stress in his life? I hate to keep on stressing him with the baths, too.

If you cannot get rid of the mites, you probably do need to get the predatory mites. Apparently you can buy them on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywor ... limg35c5_b

Best of luck.
