My beardie was just diagnosed with pinworms and another parasite that is normally in their stomach but his is to high of a count so the vet put him on meds to kill both. My question is she said throw his logs or all wood out but can I bake them in the oven and save them?
2nd question: how do I clean my new rocks and most are large so the oven would be a hassel. Also once glued together they won't come out of the enclosure so need another solution for those. They have NOT been exposed to the beardie yet so they are free of parasites, just bought from store but were stored outside. They are like the porous rocks that you can put on your house.

Yes the wood you can just rinse and bake in the oven on low (~250) for about 30 min and it will take care of it.

Don't bake the rocks though. You'll want to sanitize those using a bleach solution or even better (safer) I suggest picking up a bottle of F10SC and diluting that in a spray bottle with water at around 1:250 or so. Clean the rocks, spray with F10, wait 10 min or until they're dry and they're all set.

Thank you. I am going to order that F10. I read about it. I baked the logs, now onto the other items.

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
