I prefer using Roccal-D AND a Chlorine Bleach solution. The Roccal-D definitely needs to be diluted. A 128:1 ratio is the normal dilution, so that would be one ounce to a gallon of water.



There's nothing wrong with Virosan or Nolvasan, but neither of them are effective against the "Big C" (Cryptosporidium), which in my estimation is one of the three biggest threats to captive collections today.



Spot cleaning is never as effective as a whole cage disinfecting, but is much preferable to allowing feces to remain in the cage until cleaning time.



All disinfectants need "soak" time, at least 10 minutes.
