i find the best way is to suffocate the tick bu using loads of vasoline then is falls off with in 2 days and no hooks are left in for it to re-grow so ur totally Tick free!! Lol Aye u could of caught the tick from the bedding in the pet shops, i find a lot of times i have bought woodshavings is riddled with mites and all that!
Anyway Atb
