Raina Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Hi All, Can Diatom be used on rats? We found a couple of lice on our Old rat,Pearl. I tried looking on the paper that came with it and it didn't say anything about rats but said it could be used on Cats & dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Not sure Raina but you are perhaps better off with something containing Ivermectin like Xeno (eg Xeno 200 spray) A lot of the other stuff is a preventative rather than a treatment. It will quickly spread to your other rats if you are not careful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've kept rats since 2004 and that's the first time any of our rats have had them.Just quite shocked as i'm not sure how she got them,My sister thinks it's because Pearl's Old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I am sure that your sister is right. Maybe Pearl is slightly under the weather and the lice have taken advantage of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
