I would use Revolution from the vet, treat ALL the mice, not just the one you see the mites on. Revolution is safe to use in very very young baby kittens and pregnant cats so it might be the same for mice. Ask your vet. My friend literally JUST texted me with the same problem with her mice and asked where she can get Revolution from without having to make an appointment with some exotic specialty vet for something as simple as mites.

ive read up a bit more it could be food allergy

so ive picked all the nuts and seeds and moved her out of sawdust see how that goes, but she may have got OCSD(obsessive scratching disorder)

Mites are contagious to all, but some take much longer to show signs of! If all else fails theres always the vet! (My vet hates it when I bring in creepy crawly things!
Its so funny! To watch him with a hamster you would think I handed him a spider or something!
