The big clean up!

Apologies for anyone logging on yesterday for an update and finding nothing. Two reasons. One was a camera malfunction (you guessed it, the battery ran out), and the other was due to the amount of cleaning we had to do after the departure of so many guests over the weekend.

We take the cleaning pretty seriously here and tend to do a spot clean each day, rather than leave it for so many days and have to do a big clean out. Of course, after a guest has left then the whole hutch has to be disinfected and laid up for the next resident. This can take time to do properly, but luckily, due to the warmer weather, things are drying out reasonably quickly. With the hot weather comes the problem of Flystrike (see earlier post) which is why we do the spot clean, as it is a way of checking each animal daily.
