Hi, can anyone advise me on disinfecting a hutch and run which housed myxi rabbits, who are sadly no longer with us. I have used jeyes fluid to kill off any viruses and will thoroughly wash off tomorrow. Shall I throw away water bottles, litter trays and get new ones? I habe thrown away toys and thrown away any opened bags of hay and treats. Does the virus survive on surfaces or in droppings? Im worried that i just cant pick up every dropping from the garden. Maybe it only survives in a host such as fleas etc. cant find information on the internet about the virus living on surfaces. Just wondered what anyone else has done in this situation before getting new buns. Thanks.

You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.
