Help stinky hutch

[Bailey]

We picked up Stitch from family yesterday as they are emigrating. His hutch was filthy and it absolutely stinks (as does Stitch).
We cleaned it out and sprayed with pet safe disinfectant but it still smells - and it's in our spare bedroom >>>

What's the best thing to get rid of the smell? Sprinkle with bicarb or scrub with white vinegar.

Blimey, family did you say? Sounds more like the poor thing has been rescued than passed on

Hes gorgy by the way x

If you haven't already done so ~ i'd recommend dismantling the hutch at least partially so that you can get the floors out, then you can give the nooks and crannies a good scrub
I've had to do this twice with my hutch as the "lodgers" changed - it was easy for me i must admit as i'd assembled the hutch from new so i knew that the roof was the last thing to go on - so i removed it and got the floors out without having to dismantle the rest~ then gave it all a brush down and a good scrub with Trigene. It's surprising how much stuff can lodge between the floors and walls including insects if the hutch has been outdoors [ i have a bit of a thing about earwigs >>> so did it partly to make sure there were none lurking in there LOL ]
