I found some fallen branches in my garden last night that look like they have woodworm in them. They are perfect for my new iggys home i have scraped all the bark and stiff of them and pored boiling water all over them a few times but will the woodworm harm my iguana or start eatin my cage if so is there anything i can do to get rid of them or shll i just not use the branches. Thanks Lewis
I cant bake them as they are too big but i was told that you cant use bleach as it soaks into the wood and can harm the iguana, if it is ok to use bleach what ratio should i do it at and any particular bleach?? Thanks alot. Lewis.
An alternative to is putting the wood in a large plastic bag and setting it under the sun for a day or so. This usually needs to be done during warmer weather. The more transparent the bag, the better as it lets in more sunlight. The temp inside the bag will get too hot for any woodworm to survive.
Ok then thanks i will try that but where i live at the moment the average temperature is like 5 degrees so itsprobably a bit cold mlol. Thanks. Lewis
I'm having a similar issue... I bought a piece of wood from the petstore and noticed that later in the evening these little black fat bugs come out and fly, I believe its woodworm. How should I treat the wood and will it hurt my baby iguana??? Someone else mentioned baking on 200 degrees for 45 minutes, should i???
