How to clean a guinea pig hutch

Hello everybody so today I'm going to give instructions on how to clean and restock a guinea pig hutch. First we're going to go through the supplies you'll need:

• Puppy toilet training pads
• Wood shavings
• A dustpan and brush
• A bin bag
• Guinea pig food
• Straw/hay
• Any guinea pig toys or hiding spots
• Food bowls
• Water bottles
• Pet friendly anti-bacterial spray
• Kitchen roll

Firstly, we are going to empty the hutch out. You will empty out any toys or other materials like wooden bridges. Next you will empty out the puppy pads or any substances inside the hutch such as old shavings, poo, food and puppy pads if you've been using them previously. Then we will spray some pet friendly anti-bacterial spray onto the wood. This will help keep the wood from rotting. Wait five minutes and wipe with kitchen roll.

Then place puppy pads everywhere in the hutch. Don't worry if there are small gaps with no puppy pads. If your guinea pigs or future guinea pigs have a certain spot that they go to the toilet then add a double layer of puppy pads in that section. After that refill everywhere with shavings making sure you can not see the puppy pads with about and inch thick layer of shavings. If your guinea pig hutch has a ramp do not put shavings onto it. Now add a thin layer of hay/straw on top this allows the guinea pigs something to chew on so they're teeth do not grow to long.

Make sure your hutch does not use poisonous paint because you guinea pigs will like to chew on it. Now wash their food bowls and water bottles using the pet friendly anti-bacterial spray rinse out multiple times to make sure there is no soapy water inside them, refill the bottles and food bowls put any toys back inside and your done.
