Hello,
thanks for the welcome.
I just got a call from my exotic animal vet today, my new baby Timneh has some strange parasites and they just gave him injection which has to be repeated in 2 weeks, they told me to disinfect the cage and perches for the next 4 weeks.
I am very disappointed, but can I ask you what is the best way to disinfect the cage and bowls and perches that is also SAFE for my baby parrot? Also how often do I need to disinfect the cage and perches until he is clear of parasites,, every day or every other day or what?
I was going to use diluted bleach and dawn dish soap mixed with hot water, the wipe off with a wet paper towels, any suggestions? I hope you will reply soon.
