    Though sometimes Cheyletiella mites can be seen moving about on the skin, in many cases they can be quite difficult to find .Diagnosis is made by identification of the mite. This may be possible with the naked eye or using a magnifying glass in heavier infestations. In other cases it may be necessary to examine hair or skin scrapings under a microscope. Examining dandruff, hairs or scrapings of the skin under the microscope can positively identify the mites or eggs. By combing the coat of an infested rabbit over a piece of black paper and observing the paper for “moving dandruff is another way a diagnosis is made.…
