Concerned about ringworm.
A while ago my girl Cleopatra got ringworm, and i treated it and she was fine. But then she passed it on to my other girl, Blackberry. I disinfected the cage but realized that the wooden house would have to be disinfected as well and I baked it. A bit later Blackberry got ringworm again, so I bought them a new wooden home. And just a week ago Cleopatra got it yet again. It seems as though they are passing it back and forth to each other. I know suspect it is the cage (it has wood trimming on top, although they can't reach it, and it also has wooden support, but it is plastic on the inside). So im building a new cage tommorow (hopefully a C&C if i can get it to fit), but here's my question:
Because they appear to pass it back and forth to each other would it be wise to seperate them for the time being until they heal? Im reluctant to do so because they've lived together for so long and I know they would sit there and weak to each other constantly.
P.S. I was wondering if they could be getting it from where they spend a large amount of their day which is just in and near my room. But how would I clean that, its all carpeted.
