Epson Salt

I like to take baths with Epson Salt to help reduce the pain in my legs. Abbey seems like she wants to get it in. I have googled if it is bad for them. From what I can find it is only bad for insects. It will kill mites. She doesn't have mites but could she play in the water with me? Is there a soap I could make for her with bubbles? I think she would like bubbles.

No you can’t use Epson salt with her or the bubbles. You can only bath birds with plain old water, sorry. They are too sensitive for that kind of stuff. You can use plain water in the bath tub but once you have added the soap in the water it’s bad for them.
