Can I use a wooden house that has previously been used by rabbits

[weepweeps]

My friend wants to give this to Percy and Pepper as her two bunnies have hardly used it. Will it be safe? How can I disinfect it? I have F10. Would that be enough?

There will probably be more knowledgeable people after me. But personally I would disinfect it with f10 and leave it for a couple of weeks before using with the pigs.

I would think F10 would do the job.
but I am overly cautious when it comes to bunny/piggy cross contamination though!

Make up a bucket or tray of f10 solution and put the house into it (those houses usually come completely apart so all sections will lay flat) and leave it to soak. I would also put it aside for a few weeks afterwards just to be sure. I don’t think much survives F10 though.

When I have had mites etc in the piggies I would always make up a strong, hot F10 solution and soak any wooden items in. I'd leave them in for a couple of hours when remove and leave to dry out. Once dried out I would clean with the usual F10 spray as I would do during a normal clean out. I haven't had any issues doing this but then I haven't had anything that's been around bunnies either

My pigs and buns were in and out of each others hutches for years without any problems, they were forever doing raiding parties on each others food bowls.

A clean with F10 and leaving it to dry fully for a week or so will be fine.
