My pet mouse may have mites. What's the best [cheap] treatment?

I'm not taking a $2 mouse to a $40 vet. I'm looking for home remedies.
Answers:
u said might--why do u think he has? u need to know for sure before treating him. do u see black specs on his skin? is he scratching a lot? here's a home remedy for hamsters--should work as well on mice. just substitute mouse for hamster.

1 pint of room temperature water
1 Tablespoon of Witchhazel
1 Tablespoon of Listerine (not flavored)

Apply the solution to the mite infected hamster externally with a washcloth or put the solution in a spray bottle and lightly spray the hamster while being careful to protect the eyes, nose and mouth. After you treat the hamster it is important to clean your hamster's cage and accessories thoroughly, change the bedding and spray the solution lightly in the cage and on the hamster's toys and accessories.

good luck! i wish him well!

First, read up and see if it DOES have mites.

If it does, find a mite/lice spray at your local pet store that can be used for small animals like mice.

GET A CAT!

HE/SHE WILL TAKE CARE OF IT :)

I wish you well..

throw out the bedding you are using, or microwave it in small doses about 10 secs before using it. Completely clean out the cage and all furniture and use a mild bleach solution.
Use an over the counter mite treatment.

Frankly, if you can't afford a vet bill on a pet..whatever that animal is or costs..you don't deserve a pet. It's still a living entity dependent on you for it's well being.
