Is There a way to clean the metal corrosion on perches/ toy clips? I have some corrosion on stuff near water dishes. It’s not severe yet but it’s starting. Should it be just replaced? I’m sure I can’t put CLR or anything on it... can it be cleaned with olive oil? That’s what I use to get rust off figure skates. I know metal posioning is dangerous and I can replace things but one of the natural wood perches is his absolute favorite out of so many perches no matter where I place it... could I replace the metal components?
I was also wondering about antler perches. I received a lot of really nice shed antlers from a friend with a ranch. I was thinking about cutting the points and drilling to make perches. Would there be any problem with this? I have whole antlers and the cut on half ones like you give dogs with the softer inner matrix exposed. Would this type make a good perch or toy portions? Should I sanitize first? They spent a season in a barn.
