Wow, I've kind of gone a bit crazy with starting new topics the last few days, apologies! Blame university holidays and lots of time off from work!

 

My question is: What do you all use to disinfect a cage? The reason I ask is I've found a bargain second hand cage in my area.... I really wasn't even thinking of getting a second hand cage but it is a great model and really cheap. If I were to buy it I would want to NUKE it completely with disinfectant, in case the previous owners had passed away from any nasty diseases :laughter:

 

Thanks everyone, I promise I'll stop going crazy with the forum posts once university goes back

I use virkonS but there are others out there on the market, I knoe some people that use house disenfectant, Domestoc is handy.

VirkonS you can get on ebay

It is commonly known that the nastiest diseases in budgies are resistant to the usual bleaches etc anyway. I would go with Splats suggestion of the VIRKON S.

I have wire cages and i spray them with the high pressure hose then let them sit in the full sun for 6+hours. The sun is the words best disinfectant.

with my wooden nest boxes, i just keep records of who used it, and if there was any french moult or other deasease in that box, it gets tossed in the bin and I make a new one

If you cant find the Vikron , try F10sc its just another disinfectant.
