Treated all the lady rats with ivermectin as they all seem to have scabs- I suspect a mites outbreak.

Dosed all rats with ivermectin 1.87%. Notice some of them (Beret, Nymeria, Chelsea, Emerson, and Cicero) had some suspicious scabs around their necks/chins/faces. 

Noticed Emerson's right eye appears a bit larger than his left...going to keep an eye on this. No signs of nits on Nymeria for a few days now. I believe we got them all!

Welcomed our newest addition, Nymeria from AG Rattery. She was born 11/13/12 so she is exactly 5 weeks old. Appears to be in excellent health and very alert, eating well, etc... with the exception of getting over a case of lice from a bad batch of bedding. Breeder has been bathing her regularly- no visible lice, only some nits. Will be continuing bathing while Nymeria remains in quarantine.
