Hi Emily (nice to see you) --
Just asking clarification:
One of the GML experts who replied said that mites move to and breed on
sick and weak gerbils.
Are you sure the animals in two incidents that you describe didn't die of
something else? And while they were failing became infested with mites?
That could appear as if mites killed them.
