Due to the advice given on here I am going to start feeding my baby corn out of her cage. I have got an old mop bucked that she wont be able to get out of due to her still being tiny. I don't really know what the bucket has been used for in the past as I had it given. What should I use to clean it? I don't want my little baby to get ill.

disinfectant?? weak solution of bleach? Anything that kills bugs should be ok as long as you rinse it all off properly and I'd suggest putting newspaper on the bottom when yr feeding.

Boiling water and soap, give it a scrub and then boil it again to remove all the soap.... That should do it!

I use a large storage box to feed all mine.. They only cost a couple of quid and it'll last them ages!

I know its a parrot site but Shropshire Exotics also do it, its completely safe & natural, apparently you could drink it neat with no probs (but I haven't tried so don't quote me on it lol)
