We love sharing examples of our clients’ awesome reptile habitats! Mushu the leopard gecko gave us a tour of his bachelor pad during his recent vet visit, and here’s some things we love about this enclosure:
✅ Lots of cover and multiple hides including moist hides
✅ Natural substrate to help regulate humidity
✅ A basking spot that includes appropriate wattage overhead basking light and UVB (Arcadia 7% T5HO)
Mushu’s owner is doing a great job!! 🙌🏻

If your exotic pet is particularly itchy lately, it MIGHT be MITES! This video is shows mites from a hedgehog 🦔under the microscope, and I’m itchy just looking at this 😨. There are various different species of mites commonly found on exotic pets such as rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, and hedgehogs. Reptiles even have their own species of scale mites. Clinical signs in small mammals include itching, fur loss, and flakey/ scabby skin. Sometimes guinea pigs can become SO itchy that their owners think they are having a seizure! Luckily mite infections can be treated easily with the correct anti-parasitic medications 👩⚕️#exoticvet #exoticpetmobilevet #hedgiesofinstagram #exoticpetvet #ectoparasite
