Okay so I was at a river the other day, and found some awesome rocks and a really cool tree branch. I want to use for Edward's enclosure but I am unsure of how to properly disinfect and sterilize them. I have read about baking and soaking in bleach solutions and letting dry for days and scrubbing. What should I go about doing to make sure these items are safe for Edward?
I know the wood you can bake, but be careful with the rocks. I don't know if this is true or just a rumor, but I've heard stories of rocks exploding in the oven if they have air pockets in them. :shock: Just wanted to inform you to be careful if you try it!
Do I need to wrap the rocks in aluminum foil or anything? Just scrub with bleach solution and rinse? Or soak in the bleach solution for x period of time? I am a little iffy about the baking because I don't want rocks exploding in my oven, but if it is the only way then that's what I'll do.
