Ordered diatom from internet but that wont be here for a few days.  I've sprayed them all with some spray i had, washed out house. and put vaseline on their legs and bottom of perch.  My poorly girl has the red mites on her tail feathers and wings, what should i do about that? I sprayed her the same as the others

Quote from: "Shazzer"
Would this be the right stuff?   Made from layers of microscopic algae laid down in prehistoric times, it is mined and then milled to the correct grade. Used for many years worldwide, this is a tried and tested product.


That's Diatom :!:  It's all I use in my eglu against red mite.  I add it to the dustbath they have in their run to prevent lice too :D
