I'll wager dollars to donuts that that's how your poor little hammie ended up with mites!  Makes you quite angry and sad doesn't it?
However he got the mites, I hope he gets rid of them soon  |
Oh yes it makes me mad - a few years ago we had two "female" gerbils from them - well they had a litter which was a complete surprise (yes, I know we were probably stupid) and then of course another litter followed shortly afterwards as we did'nt realise that they would mate again straight after!!!
PAH were really rude to me when I told them about it
I'm not going to go there anymore..
