Thanks a lot for the feedback. I have done some research and it alarmed me that disinfectants(Zoo Med Wipe Out 1) containing benzalkonium chloride and the related compound didecyldimethylammonium chloride (DDAC) has been identified as the most probable cause of birth defects and fertility problems in caged mice. If it can do this to mice, what could it do to a more sensitive animal, such as reptiles and amphibians?
