The rescue I contacted I believe does do guinea pig bonding but I haven't seen anything about overnight so would be more of a dating scenario for a few hours. If I got this in for a morning would they be ok to go in the cleaned out c&c cage once home and then if they have stayed happy together...

Normal disinfectant is OK but if you have a problem, then F10 is more effective for a deep clean. If you buy the F10 concentrate, it has the advantage of being much cheaper because it lasts you for ages. Just use one of the usual spray bottles once it is empty for the diluted refill. ;)

When cleaning out the hutch I just empty out all soiled bedding and hay and then give the trays a spray with pet safe disinfectant and then add new bedding . I do this once a week is this ok

Yes they will be fine just with the hutch Yes the floor coverings will also be fine. As I say, the correx I have used in the cage was used for the work in my house

hmm ill see what i can do! i may not be able to give them access straight away to the run until iv fixed these bits but they should be okay in the hutch without until its all sorted shouldn’t they? also my dad can get me some more floor coverings however they will have been used / dusty, would...

Sending you hugs. The only disinfecting product I would trust would be F10 (it’s a vet grade disinfectant) rather than a pet shop product with the f10 made up to a high concentration. I keep both piggies and rabbits as pets. I do not share items ever, they don’t share an air space, I always...

Thank you 💕💕 I’m so sorry I’ve been quiet. You’ve all been so supportive, gentle and reassuring. I am just in a very low place right now. I sent a long voice message to the boarder and she replied with this; “Hi Julia, All animals that come bonded together stay together and never mix with any...

Alright, will do! Thanks. :)

There is no need to use such sprays. Keep up with daily hutch maintenance of removing poops and wet hay and bedding - even go to twice daily during summer - and make sure to check piggy bottoms once or twice a day. I have never used any bug sprays in over three decades of outdoor small...

No it doesn’t make any difference. Mine live outside in a shed year round. They used to be in wooden hutches in the shed but due to certain circumstances now are in c&c in the shed. I have always disinfected my hutches with F10 - spray it in and it does get into the wood and properly...

Thanks so much for this! All really helpful advice. I've ordered the lice & easy shampoo, but I'm not going to use it until my pigs have seen the vet and had their treatment first. I've bought some F10 from Amazon, and hopefully that should arrive soon and the current bag of hay will be...

Hi There is no recommended pesticide for guinea pigs that kills mites. Please be aware that pesticides and flea killers suitable for dogs contain an ingredient that is lethal for guinea pigs. The general cage disinfectant we recommend for deep cleaning cages (which is proven to kill ringworm...

I use F10 to clean the hard surfaces including the wood of their hutches. It’s a disinfectant but there is a version with a detergent in it as well - f10 scxd is the detergent version. Yes it’s safe, it’s a vet grade disinfectant. I’m not sure about using it on carpet

I’ve kept guinea pigs for three years now. I started off with two long hairs (Pebbles and Pretzel) and a year later added another (Pip). I’ve had Pip for two years now and when I’d not had her for very long I thought she had some kind of mite. The older piggies are blonde and grey/brown but Pip...

That’s lovely of you to gift it to your friend. I'm sorry you lost your pigs. After a long time empty it is probably fine now but if have some F10 or if your friend does, then disinfecting it with that would make very sure (nothing survives F10!). I give all my hutches a deep clean with F10...

Is it dangerous to put my boy in that hutch without using f10? My bluebell was second hand too and thankfully it didn’t cause any issue, but i’m a bit more educated now and don’t really know what to do.

Guinea pigs it’s says but it does look quite gross in the pictures. I was planning on buying some f10 earlier but never got round to it.

Yes I’d say so. F10 kills everything including ringworm (vinegar and water is just a mild disinfectant, it won’t kill much). I use it every six weeks or so to spray down all my hutches and wipe hides etc. Do you know what animal was housed in the hutch before?

You will want to disinfect it as part of the cleaning process. I would make up some soapy solution with white vinegar added (which is a mild and safe disinfectant) and wipe it out with a sponge. Leave it to air dry. I would also, after using a soapy solution to wipe it, spray it with F10 -...

I have used 2 boarders I only changed because the first one had to close for personal reasons. The first one had hutches in heated sheds and used puppy pads and hay as a substrate she provided all hay and veg and I provided the pellets. My piggies also had outdoor time on artificial grass in a...
