Stupid Ladder

I bought the pretty, colourfull ladder thinking it would be more "fun" for them. It is turning them PINK!!! I am going tomorrow to buy a new non coloured one.

Is there a safe way I can take the colour out of this one?

Oh I'm sorry...that really shouldn't happen...what type of material is it?
Mabey you could wash and scrub it in hot water
I had the same problem with my playgym its coloured and when you go to clean it the colour run's I just took the whole gym ran it under super hot water till it stopped bleeding and that seemed to work for me ;)
I was gonna say if it's wooden you could boil it.
It is wooden. I tried scrubbing it in hot water. The colour didn't even come off then. :confused: LOL

The colour will not totally come off but the bleeding should stop
It wasn't bleeding either. The colour only comes off on the birds. The ladder is possessed :eek:

hehe.....yeah that is weird I guess its time to get a new one :p
LOL!! That's weird! Would love to see some photos of your pink babies. :p
lol poor pink baby. i can't see how i wouldn't come off it washed it but yet come off on the birds. The dye itself shouldn't hurt them. Yes it will turn them a different color and they make look silly.

I've had a dyed play stand for ages. i've only ever seen the color run when it got wet. My budgies are always rubbing their heads over it.
I guess you could try to boil it like babyluv12 suggested
We bought a new one today, much easier.. lol
