Fungus Mold Clean Up

What is the best way to clean up a mold break out around the food dish of an enclosure? Sometimes I face something as serious as that and I immediately move my critters to a temporary container, clean the container out with water bleach and alcohol.


How do i clean up my critters after a break out like that? I know i cannot just swab the creature with alcohol.



Thanks Very Happy

Sounds like the humidity is too high in your enclosure and also poor ventilation.  Try not to leave your food dish in there permanently.  Try  leaving the food in the dish for a day, then throw it out.  And feed again in a few days.  And somehow find a way to improve your ventilation in the enclosure.

I am sure it is not ventilation and the mold always appears at the dish. So it is a dish problem.


Thanks
