Give your rabbits’ whole home a thorough clean about once a week. Clean the toilet areas every day.
The RSPCA recommends cleaning toilet areas daily and the whole home about weekly. With more rabbits or heavy soiling, do it more often. A clean hutch prevents smells, flies and skin problems.
- Move the rabbits to a safe place for a while
- Remove all bedding and hay
- Scrub the hutch with a pet-safe cleaner and let it dry
- Put back fresh bedding and hay
