QP Bathtubs

[alleng8304]

Has anyone found a bird bath that hangs on cage and big enough for a QP to get into and move around a little bit. I used my JZ one that I use for my parakeet and the QP was a little scared of it at first, but loved it when he got use to it. The problem is it is too small -only 5 " wide. Thanks

I don't know that there's a larger "hang on" bath, but there is a Lixit quick lock dish that's kind of wide but shallow. Here's some other bathing techniques you can try....

• Try luke-warm water
• Try cold water
• Try ice-cold water
• Try a spray bottle
• Try a plant mister
• Try in the sink with the water running or just some water in the bottom
• Try in the sink with the sprayer
• Try in the tub with some water in the bottom
• Try a casserole dish or similar with some water
• Try the dish with ice
• Try the dish with foot toys
• Try the dish with some leafy greens like endive or other types of lettuces that may create a "natural" bowl
• Try the dish with a vacuum cleaner
• Try in the shower with you - watching you having a blast getting wet!
• Try dancing the bird into the shower with the water already going
• Try spritzing yourself, and have fun doing it! Then spritz the bird
• Try outside in an empty cage large enough to spread wings during a nice rain shower
• Try outside in an empty cage using the hose with a mist/shower attachment
