Subject: Sarcoptic and/or Demodex mites

Do ferrets get sarcoptic mange/mites? And/or Demodex mites? I saw a
picture on the web of a sarcoptic mite that looked exactly what I have
found in my ferrets' ears, upon microscoptic examination. I did a
search of the FHL past posts and could not find an answer. I
certainly know about ear mites in ferrets! I just don't know if
ferrets get skin mites and, if so, what kind.
Thanks!
