Cleaning Coccidia in beardies cage

[Blankenship24]

Hey everyone,

I was just wondering if I can use this particular product to clean out my beardies cage who has coccidia? It uses ammonia and not bleach.

Thanks.

I woudlnt use Lysol personally, not sure what's in it and it looks like all versions have fragrance. I use a product called F10SC, ZooMed's WipeOut! is a similar quaternary ammonium based product. I think beardeddragon.co sells QUAT cleaner for coccida as well.

Thanks for the reply tater. I have been trying to find a quaternary ammonium solution in stores near me but I have had zero luck. Ive seen several online places but i wanted it today. So i just may end up ordering online cause I can't seem to find it in stores.

Thanks again.

My babies had coccidia and what I did was I took all their "stuff out" and put it in the dishwasher. STEAM is the only thing that can kill this certain kind of protozoa. You can use all the bleach/vinegar you want, it wont kill the little boogers. So dishwasher, then I replaced their carpet with newspaper, and as soon as they had a bowel movement, I would rip that piece of paper out, this ensured their enclosure was a clean as possible. I would use the dishwasher once a week. They were both cleared by the doc. in 5 days
