  So coco has mites and I need to completely clean and sterilize his room- so what’s the best way to clean everything? (Ie. cage, hay holder, blankets, toys,, etc.) also, should I throw away his wooden toys or can I clean them somehow? Thank you

  You can put wooden toys in the freezer for 48 hours. That goes for stuffies and other toys as well.
  
  Machine wash everything washable, clean the rest with vinegar and water.
  
  Revolution is very good and works for 8-14 days, then you do a repeat treatment to kill any mites that hadn’t hatched durintg the first round of treatment or had hid in the environment. If the infestation is heavy you can do a 3rd round two weeks after the second.
  
  When my Bam had mites I did the above things (he only needed 2 rounds of treatment) and we havent seen a mite since. Its nearly 6 ys ago.

  I live in the USA so could I just get revolution over the counter somewhere? And thank you so much for your response.
