Right, Ive learnt that reptibark is the most suitable type of bark for redfoot hatchlings and that it can be washed. After googling it, ive found out that you soak it in boiling water to clean it. Is this correct?
Also do people use bark in their outdoor enclosures or does it become too sodden in the rain. What does everyone do for their outdoors if they dont use bark?
Just trying to top up my info for future arrivals and help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Rach

reptibark can be washed with boiling water
i suppose it depends on how much you have to wash
