olive oil for hamster fleas

[geckoqueen]

I read olive oil is good to use for Hamsters if they have fleas and mites, so I took my glove and rubbed some olive oil on my hamsters. The one Hamster is really itching bad rolling around in his bedding. The other hamster is not itching as bad but still itches himself alot. Both hamsters were like this when I bought them itching all the time. Anyway I just used the olive oil today, so I will try for a week and see what happens. They look wet but no I did not bathe them. They just look wet from the olive oil, they seem to like to lick it off and from I read olive oil wont hurt them and most hamsters find it a treat.. LOL
