whats the best way to clean cuttlefish bone picked up from the beach so it can be used by my aviary2007-11-24 17:26:12

at the moment I have them soaking in a bucket of water but I'm unsure how to proceed

Answers:

boil it for 30 mins. Then Dry it in the oven at 200C for 30 mins. let it cool before storing it in an air tight container until you need to use it.

I didn't know you could do this! What are aviary birds? No joke intended!

I wouldn't risk it. They need to be totally disinfected and if you make a mistake - the birds die. Cuttle bone is cheap. Buy something safe.

Don't be cheap go and buy some or do you want to kill your birds.!

Back of a scourer sponge and salt x

Personally I wouldn't do it, myself. Because although you may clean it, it may still have microbes embedded beneath which could harm the bird. Don't be a meanie. Go and buy a bag. It's pretty cheep (no pun intended - LOL)!

don't use cuttlefish bone from the beach. it could have nasty germs that your birds could easily catch. buy one at the store it's much safer.
