Ruby Inferno
Teenage Guinea Pig
Usually when I wash the water bottles, I just give them a good shake (after being soaked for a while in pet-safe cleaning solution). However earlier I decided to use a cotton bud soaked in the pet safe cleaning solution. When I used a cotton bud to clean one of my piggies' water bottles, dark green came off on the cotton bud. Is this algae? If I give them a good clean, will it be okay to use or do I need to use new water bottles?
Their current water bottles are not easy to clean, you can unscrew the nozzle but you can't take off the actual metal bit. One of my piggies has chewed the bit that attaches the metal nozzle to the plastic part connecting to the nozzle, so I can take it off and clean it, but with the other bottle I can't.
I feel stupid for not properly cleaning the nozzles...
