Senior Guinea Pig
When I clean out my piggies I tend to put the boys in my bedroom and the husboar and wife in the hallway.
I just wondered if this is actually needed or I can put them both in the same room when I clean them out? Obviously not the same time.
My routine is that I clean the boys out first, put them in my room in a makeshift run and then once I've finished I put them back in their clean cage and tidy up my bedroom to get rid of poops, hay etc and put all the stuff away to make their run.
I then take my boar and sow out and put them in the hallway, make another makeshift run and get a start on cleaning their cage. I've always done this as I was wary that the boys may smell my sow.
So my question is, can I put them in the same hallway (or bedroom) and clean out the boys first as usual then put my husboar and wife pig in after and by the time I clean them again usually about 5-7 days later will the scent still be there or gone? It'd be a lot faster to clean them out if I didn't have to make up two different makeshift runs in two different rooms each time.
I hope the question is clear. I had struggle wording it.
