last thing you'd need in your oven is an exploding rock! |

Posted - 24/11/2009 : 18:39:11 I've got some rocks ready to go in the vivs after brumation. I cleaned off all the dirt first just using water, then soaked them in a bleach solution. Think that should be enough but if you want to put them in the oven as well then that will probably help as well |

I think there is a guide somewhere re bringing things from outside into the vivs and how to go about disinfecting, worth checking the DIY sections here and on the other forums.
