Bleach And Piggys

[Amy Barton]

how long should I wait before returning the piggys to the piggy room after using bleach in the room?

What have you bleached?

What have you bleached?

The wall as it had a patch of mold on it due to our gutters overflowing a few weeks ago and it getting into the wall. The smell is very faint now but the pigs are still in their little carry cages as I'm unsure whether or not the smell will harm their lungs?

My view is that if you can smell it yourself, then it will be stronger for them. Their sense of smell is much better than humans so i would leave it as long as possible.

I have put them back in now the smell is very faint I just felt as though the stress of being out of their cages was doing them more harm. Also it was not 100% bleach it was a mould killer spray. It's been around 5 hours the doors and windows where wide open. I have put a bit of olbas oil on a tissue which has completely masked the smell.
