Thread: Best way to clean a treefrog tank?

    Default Best way to clean a treefrog tank?

    I have a White's Dumpy Tree frog whose tank I want to clean while I'm home for break. I have a solution of frog safe cleaner from the store, but it doesn't do very well when it comes to the dried frog skin on the glass. The tank is also one of those where it opens at the front of the tank, just not all the way to the bottom, which makes it very difficult to clean. What's the best way to clean a tank that gets rid of dried skin and water stains, but doesn't use harsh chemicals?

    I hardly ever use chemicals, even ones described as safe, as amphibians are so very sensitive. The only time I use them if a frog is sick or to disinfect a tank to use with another frog. I use razors to scrap off poo and anything they leave on the glass. When it comes to a full cleaning I just use warm water. I've read vinegar with the razor blade can be good to take water spots off but not tried it myself.

    I use vinegar (and a razor blade if necessary) and I wash it off thoroughly afterwards.
