Keeping Hutch Clean

[mitch1210 0]

Just wondering what you guys use to keep gour hutches clean, as in cleaning sprays or anything else you use, and how often you replace the whole of the bedding

keep mine in a converted chicken coup and 8' run attached , plus get them all out every day to have a play in a bigger run.

Clean out their litter tray every day , plus remains of any food , then fresh water and food .

Tried allsorts of disenfectants , but for along while have used white vinegar and water mixed in a spray bottle,daily .

once weekly completey remove everything , bedding etc and hose and scrub out coup/hutch and run.

 

Maybe over the top , but they deserve it.

Keep an eye on what product's your using.phenol based cleaners can poison your ferrets.rinse with plenty water afterwards.

Clean there corner 3/4 times a week total clean out once a week and blast the hutches with bleach once a year

I clean the crap corner everyday and a total cleanout once a week or so. Never used bleach or anything.

Thinking of getting a ferret, I've nowhere to keep it outside so would inside be a possibility or would it smell too much?

Depends what smells you like. You could always develop "Dairy Farmers Syndrome." DFS

Keep mine indoors, there will always be a smell but you can keep it down. Litter box twice a day as that smells the most. Better outside though....

keep them outside find out what corner they are doing it in, and buy two cat litter trays screw one to the floor, so they cant move it and put the other on top, add cat litter and some of their poo, they should use it, mine do..

Jeyes fluid. Takes all smells away and missus doesn't moan about the "odour" anymore.
