Hello everyone, my Boar got neutered today. He is doing very well and is taking his medication, eating and drinking well. However, as he is currently asleep in his hide, I was wondering if I should have washed it beforehand? I apologise for the silly question, however he is my first guinea pig and I want to do everything right for him, especially because of his previous owners neglect/abuse. In my mind I thought that as the hide had been washed yesterday already and has his scent on it it might provide him some comfort? I did brush down the mat inside of it from poops but I'm worried in case there was anything on it that could cause an infection to his surgery? He did not get stitches, the vet used a skin glue on him.
Any advice would really help, as well as advice on how to care for him going forward (If I need to do anything special during his recovery other than his medication and holding him less).
Thank you!

I found that he prefers them over wooden ones. Is it okay if his hides are only fleece ones or would it be better to include hides from other materials too?
