(I swear in my real, non-hamster life I am a fully competent, independent, successful woman. I have never asked so many questions in my life!)
We moved his habitat onto the floor so he could start going in and out of his play pen. He had a wild time and even let me pet him!) Now that I'm sitting on the floor to care for him, I have found tiny white bugs on my phone screen, and I have itchy welts on my legs. I think they're carpet/dust mites based on that. Will they harm him? He doesn't have any signs of mange or mites. If we have to treat the carpet chemically we will obviously moved him.
Do I need to empty and sanitize his cage? Take him to the vet to make sure? Also I leave in two days for a week and my partner will have to deal with all of this for me
