Do they look like this?

If so you have mites - but I hope not!!
Or do they look like tiny flies with visible legs and wings? If so they're probably compost gnats which are harmless. There are a load of other similar little critters, some wingless, springtails and so on, equally harmless, who all like damp bark and probably arrived with the bark, and are usually much faster moving than mites; if so you have no worries. Fingers crossed it isn't mites! |

Good luck - and loads of royals have stopped eating now, as it's their mating season and their minds are on other things lol - my 2 girls won't look at a rat - they're waiting for their prince to come ...(Oops, should rephrase that ...  ) |
