Hi all!:wave:
As I said in a previous post I have bought a cage for my rabbits and (though new) thought I'd give it a wash-out "just in case".
I left my cage in the garden with (daft as I am!) the doors open as I thought I would give it a good "air" before the arrival of rabbits in a few weeks time.
ANYWAY, I am currently "cat-sitting" my sister's cat while she is away and GUESS who I found using said hutch as a comfy snoozing place a moment ago!
I am just thinking to myself that cats scent places and I would not be at all surprised if she rubbed her little cat cheeks all over the interior prior to me finding her. I intend re-washing it now as I would suppose rabbit sense of smell is very good and I don't want them to smell "predator" in their new home even though it will be a few weeks before they arrive...
Will pet-friendly disinfectant do the trick or ought I try vinegar or something that smells stronger? She is a spayed female so does not scent as an uncastrated male would - still, my nose isn't as good as a rabbit's so goodness only knows how strongly it now smells of cat to them!!:?
Thanks for any suggestions,
TP
