She's adorable! Welcome to the forum.

The flaky skin may be a number of things: she may still have mites, changes in temperature, bedding or food, etc... Try bathing her in yucca butter or oatmeal shampoo to help clear it up.

Ello Titanuim,
Previously, I cud see the mites but now thru magnify glassI dun c any... I am hoping that the problem is cleared... I stop spraying her with the anti mites spray coz I had a feeling that was what made her skin dry... am I rite?
Fos bedding, I lay paper towels & newspaper... she gets a towel too as she likes to hide unter them... I clean & change the bedding daily... towels included...
I have been giving her bath twice a week so far...

I don't know anything about mites....but if she isn't quilling, then you are probably drying out her skin by giving her baths so often. If it's mite related, well I don't know what I'm talking about.
