So I've seen so many threads on here about cork and i want to try it with Ice!
I've seen lots of vendors on here who sell it and i just put an order in with Danita (T4W) but I've also seen that Petsmart sells cork bark "chunks" for aquariums by the brand Zoo Med.
I'm always wary of everything cause i know companies love to pump chemicals in things and i thought since amphibians and reptiles are so sensitive to the things around them that they would be maybe okay for Birds too.
I've emailed ZooMed to inquire about the cork and this is the response i got back:
Thank you for contacting us. Our cork bark is not painted at all, the only thing done to it is that it is heat treated before it is imported to our warehouse. It is entirely safe to use with birds, if you have any further questions please let me know!
What are your opinions?
I love to support the vendors here but I'm an impatient person and shipping to Canada always seems like it takes forever!. I just gotta make those toys NOW
I'd most likely bring it home and wash it in a bleach solution and sun bake it to get any store contact off it
Help is always appreciated
