Has anyone tried to disinfect a hammock?

I have one of those hammocks that sort of feel like they’re made from hay? She poops on it quite often and has coccidia. I assume I can’t bake that... but maybe I can. I really don’t want to set my apartment on fire though lol and f10 is sold out so I’m just curious what other people do. Thanks!

You will need to sanitize that tank every day I would get rid of the substrate if its cloth sand anything loose -- use paper towels - tile and NON adhesive shelf liner is the easiest to keep clean and sanitize -

Ok I use shelf liner right now. Does wipe out kill coccidia? I have it. And also is it okay to use on wood or will that stay on the wood and harm her? She licks everything.

As far as I know it does --- I have F 10 that I use -- you can ask Tracie or AHBD to see if it does -- I am not exactly sure

I don’t like those hammocks as they aren’t exactly washable. You can easily make one out of an old bath robe (the plush material doesn’t catch their nails) and toss it in the laundry with some bleach whenever you need to clean it.

Do you think I could make it out of a cotton t shirt? Or an old sweater? Right now i have paper towels on her hammock so I can clean it well while I try and get a new one. I have fabric glue too but idk if that is safe.

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
