Cleaning up after my beardie

[McSkweeky]

Hi everyone! As a new beardie owner, and a sick one no less, I'm wondering what product(s) are best to use in his viv and decor. I've got paper towels down right now, but he has had loose stools so I've had to clean his basking rock and the bottom of his viv a bit. I want something that will disinfect but be safe for him.

Thanks!

a watered down bleach and water solution will work. the same proportions as you would use for disinfecting a young childs toys or something. as long as you allow enough time for the wet spots dry and the fumes escape it should be safe. The only thing you have to be careful of is rocks being porous. the rocks may absorb some of the solution. I tend to use a high power spray on a water hose outside for rocks.

you can clean with vinagear, then rinse with distilled water.

you can also add a touch of bleach to a lot of water and scrub.

ive noticed the cleaners they sell at petstores for reps are worthless.

i also have something called "poop off" that i use to clean up after my birds. just recently learned its safe for my reps too. you can get it at petsmart, but its 20$ for a med sized bottle. but its so worth it! shame its not a glass cleaner. for glass, use the vinegar and distilled water.
