Using Medicine Dropper: Ear mites, which get inside the aperture of the ear and cause intense itching, can be controlled by injecting baby oil in the ear with a medicine dropper. Hold the animal so the oil will stay for a few minutes; then swab with cotton on an applicator.
Snakes are often parasitized by mites.
HOUSING: Use small, snug box well-filled with warm, soft cloths; protect pet from chilling at all times.
FOOD: Give milk warmed to body temperature, using medicine dropper; feed every hour. As pet grows, feed by teaspoon and lengthen time between feedings. When gnawing teeth come through, add stale bread or dry butterless toast to milk. Later, add bird seed, prepared hamster mix, and melon seed.
