Indeed, Linda............... was it a mite you found? If you found one then it won't be alone...

Linda, your very first post on this thread on 14th November (two weeks ago?) was where John got that quote from and what he was referring to. He was simply answering your question on what you should know about them as you asked? You had asked two questions, the first being about the mite and then about feeding..... the thread had steered clear of the mite aspect and concentrated on the feeding but John answered your first question for you as you'd asked...
PMSL confuscious rules!

Let's hope so. They can be pretty difficult to spot. The easiest way is to use a white water bowl and white kitchen towel. That way it becomes easier to see the little black specks in the bottom from when they drop off.
