Gabapentin good. Being without it? BAD!
@CapricornFarm, you do baths for your mites? Whow, I'm impressed. I just put a few drops of Ivermectin pour on on my birds, repeat the treatment in a week for birds that might have something stubborn like feather shaft mites. Grease up any bird's legs that even mildly look like scale mites with vasoline. Then when I clean I throw some Seven powder around on the roosts and floor/nest boxes. I see an occasional sand flea but no major outbreaks of mites.
What am I doing tonight? Watching the last season of GRIMM on Amazon Prime video. Only three more episodes to do and then we'll have to find something else to binge on.
