Right, let me explain! As part of my 'getting tough with E Cuniculi' plan, I am trying very very hard to stop my 2 bunnies reinfecting themselves. I have started bleaching their litter tray (well, dog bed), the kitchen floor, bowls etc. This was after advice I saw on a website that said that nothing kills the spores other than bleach (so the Virkon I'd been using probably wasn't doing much).
I always fill their litter tray with hay, on top of megazorb, so they are probably nibbling on the odd piece of contaminated (with urine) hay all the time. I'm therefore thinking that I will fill the tray with megazorb, and have a hay manager/box/dispenser of some kind right next to the litter tray. Needs to be small enough that they can't climb into it, but big enough to contain enough hay.
Obviously, the last thing I want to do is discourage them from eating hay (and will have to revisit the plan if that happens), but drastic steps are needed here!!
Any ideas on what to put the hay in would be gratefully received.
edit: I should explain that they are house bunnies and don't have anything to clip on to (eg hay rack). Would have to be free standing.
