I have read that hydrogen peroxide will kill parasites, so why has it never been used to sterilize vivariums with frogs that harbour parasites?
The only reason I ask is because I recently spent alot of money setting up my viv and im pretty sure the 2 frogs I have in there now are harbouring parasites. I would like to get fecals done to make sure so I can treat them, but there is no way in hell that im going rip the tank apart and toss the plants. If that's the only option I will not house any frogs in the tank and leave it as is.
My plan is to heavily bomb the tank with co2 because I also have some spider mites, then spay the entire tank with a diluted peroxide solution for the plants and straight peroxide for the soil and the rest of the tank.
Like I said if this absolutely will not work, I will just set up another tank for the frogs and use this tank just for viewing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank's Matt
