    Hello everyone 🙂 I was active for a couple years on the old site (under the username LittleNom) but dropped off once I moved and got a new job. I’d like to chew the choya again!

    Speaking of choya, a few of my pieces of choya wood have become a little dingy. Whenever I see suspicious spots on my choya, I’ll take it out of the tank so it doesn’t hurt my little friends. Is there any way to “clean” choya wood, or should I just toss it and replace it?

    In happy news, I’m celebrating my 10 year anniversary with my hermit crab LG this month!

    Boiling in dechlorinated water might do it.

    I find my choya gets mildewy after too long in the tank.

    Things you could try:

    Soaking in salt water

    Baking on a low temp for an extended time

    Boiling

    Laying it outside to bake in the hot sun for several days
