Guinea Pig Toys/hideys

Hi all,
Bad case of ring worm right now but wanted to ask... I bought some new wood hay houses 2 weeks ago, edible ones, do I have to throw them or would boiling water do the trick? my piggies love them and they weren't cheap have put boiling water on them 3 times and letting them dry until bone dry... Would that be OK?

Thanks

I am very sorry about your predicament. I hope that the boiling water has done the trick; it usually does with washing fabrics!
There is however always a small risk that a fungal spore is still stuck somewhere, as you are well aware of, so it is up to you to judge whether it is worth the risk or not.
