I have a nest of baby budgies I picked up the youngest and its infested with fleas!! is thier a way to kill them?
I have mite spray I checked over the other babies it's just the smallest so I lightly sprayed it and the fleas slowed down just enough so I could pluck them off and squish them and I did switch boxes now I gotta clean the box and do the same thing to the other nest. And switch them boxes out just incase. Poor little baby being eaten by fleas that don't fly by me exspecially to my baby Ino chick.Do You have another nest box that You can use? I would pick each and every one off the babies and drown them in soapy water.Then put the babies in a clean nest box.Good luck-if it is fleas-they can kill the babies really fast.
Here is some info I found for You-I hope it helps

Where do I get that? And they were black they looked identical to fleas I don't get why only one chick would have them. But. I killed them off it. For now.probably mites or lice and not fleas. I'd suggest diatomaceous earth. Love the stuff!
Well Shame on MESure glad BF was on the look out to prevent Me from giving out such BAD info!This DE is not the same thing as the DE used in swimming pool filters. Pool grade DE is Diatomaceous Earth produced for pool filters and it is treated with heat, causing the formerly amorphous silicon dioxide to assume crystalline form. Pool grade DE should never be used for pest control. Swimming pool DE ranges from 60% to 70% free silica!
