Hi everyone,
(My second post today! Im on a roll...)
For those of you that keep multiple bunnies that aren't all housed together, or have many species as part of your pet family (i myself have buns, guinea pigs, dogs, cats, chickens, pot belly pigs and a snake); what are your hygiene routines? I always thought my routine was pretty good as i keep all food in seperate sealed containers, rinse out bowls & water bottles every day and give each home a good clean & disinfect once a week. But I recently had a pet sitter who was appalled by the fact that I dont sterilize water bottles and food bowls and that i dont 'sanitise' my hands in between going from animal to animal.
Does anyone actually do this?? I'm inclined to think that hes being somewhat over cautious, but perhaps hes right and I'm actually being shockingly lax!
This is why I'm interested to hear about what other people do I need a more balanced picture! Do you have a sterilization routine? How far do you take it? Do you sterilize food scoops and use different cleaning equipment for each hutch? Does anyone use sanitiser on their hands in between cuddles??
