So, the 1st jobbie didnt work. A couple of the sods have dropped off Boris in the last few days. Today Im going to do it all again. Which is a bugger cos havent seen any on Sas now or last time. And it's a tad chilly here today so having the windows open will be a pain! Oh well, best get stripping. The vivs, not me lol. |

may just be that they have not come into contact with the adrap hopefully on a few days you wont see anymore that are alive |

Im just confused as to why they are still alive. I Ardaped on Monday and oiled on Tuesday so if the ones on him now were from the viv why didnt the Ardap kill them? |

Just an update on Eowyns mites. Two treatments of mite off hadn't got rid of them, so last night we gave her a rub down with kitchen roll sprayed with frontline. We got this from the vet the last time we had mites, and was successful, so fingers crossed again.
I'm following the olive oil treatment with interest just encase. |

Posted - 20/09/2012 : 09:58:48
can I oil him again or will it harm his skin? |

probably one that was in the viv any on him will have drowned in the oil. the adrap will kill them when they come into contact with it, could hoover out the viv to get. rid of any left in there |

Good grief! That's enormous! Boris is now back in his house. I think he is sulking! Fingers crossed this has worked. |

yeah I have lol, I just used plain water. He still feels pretty slippery though lol. |
| chrisc |
Posted - 18/09/2012 : 19:33:19
youve probably done it now but just use warm water this will get the worst off an he will go blue in a week or so and get the rest off with the shed |
