hi all i hope the answer to this is not glaringly obvious, if it is I'll just leave quietly now...
in my Tokay's viv i have a few horizontal wooden perches that are attached to the glass and to each other using aquarium sealant. it is now coming up to her first big clean out and i am wondering how I'm going to do the damn thing!! if i disinfect the whole thing branches and all will the wood not take ages to dry while the poor thing is in a temporary viv...? but then i am loathe to remove the branches because i spent a lot of time and effort putting it all together
what methods do others use? |

If you have an issue with disease (or even mites), then you might be better off removing and starting again with fresh branches.
If you are just trying to have a spring clean, then I would suggest spraying and wiping off with a veterinary disinfectant a couple of times, and then rinsing with warm water. I use a product called Ark Klens for this.
Cheers,
Mark. |
