Is this a Problem?

Hey plant buddies!!πŸ‘‹πŸŒ±πŸͺ΄I just got this cute Hairy Stemmed Rhipsalis last night and I’ve never in the past quarantined my plants because I frankly don’t know where or how to do that.πŸ˜… But this cactus has one of those wood sticks in its pot that I pulled out and when I looked closely and long enough I could see at least 3 different kinds of tiny bugs on it. Is that normal or should I pull her away from my plants and quarantine? In the past my room did get infested with those tiny red bugs because a friend had given me a plant straight from outside. And I another time a think a new plant had spider mites in it because I also was infested with those at one point. But I’ve just never quarantined my plantsπŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ thank you for the help!!🫢🫰🏻πŸͺ΄

Were they all the same kind of bug? What did they look like? Without a picture this is rather vague and I couldn’t say if it was normal or not. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
@DreamMachine Thank you for responding! Sorry it’s would be pretty hard to get a picture with them moving and allπŸ˜… From what I saw they were all diffrent. one was long and dark like a beetle and other one looked like one of those little red bugs but white if you know what I’m talking aboutπŸ˜… but it looked to big to be a spider mite. And the other one looked similar to the second one. Sorry I can’t give you a picture or better info
