    Default Proper cleaning

    I was wondering what I should use to clean my cage if I'm going to swap frog enclosures? I've got this flukers super scrub with organic cleaner I normaly use, is it sanitary enough to switch them after thorough use of this ?

    I used to use all those expensive terrarium cleaners, but now I use regular table salt. It takes off the slime and gives it a fresh smell. Just rinse thoroughly. I also have a spray bottle with a 10:1 water/bleach solution that I use twice a month for bacteria control. Seems to work very well on my Xenopus aquariums. I use a 5 gallon plastic container to hold the frogs during cleaning.

    I basically clean the tanks once a week with salt. Twice a month, I lightly spray the tank with bleach, then thoroughly rinse before putting in the frogs. So far, none of my frogs have had an infection.
