THE HOMEMADE ANTI-MITE RECIPE FOR HAMSTERS!
Thanks to Hamsterite Ellischia for this one!
1 pint of room temperature water
1 Tablespoon of Witchhazel
1 Tablespoon of Listerine (not flavored)
Apply the solution to the mite infected hamster externally with a washcloth or put the solution in a spray bottle and lightly spray the hamster while being careful to protect the eyes, nose and mouth. After you treat the hamster it is important to clean your hamster's cage and accessories thoroughly, change the bedding and spray the solution lightly in the cage and on the hamster's toys and accessories.
Witchhazel can often be found in grocery stores but is more commonly found at your local drug store.
Please note: This is not to be taken internally, it is a topical (on the skin) treatment. UPDATE: According to Ken, the hamster guru, this recipe has been proven effective to treat mite infestations through a number of user testimonials. So rest easy young hamsterite, I think your hamster is gonna pull through!
