Is there a special way to clean boar's cage when introducing another boar?

[Marshie]

Today I'm introducing two boars and I know it is bad for the cage to smell like one of the pigs, so is there a method of cleaning that will help rid of the smell?
My method of cleaning is usually just dish soap, vinegar and water mixed.

No particular method, just give it a really good clean using the products you normally use. Wash any washable items, move things around etc. What you are trying to achieve is that the piggy who originally lived there doesn’t see it as his territory and therefore won’t view the newcomer as an invader

Are you clear about the introduction process? Neutral area, don’t interfere unless there is a full on fight etc

That is fine; just also clean/soak any houses, too.

For a deep clean (especially a medically required one) we recommend F10 as it is anti-fungal as well as antibacterial and to a certain extent anti-microbial.

Please introduce on neutral ground and, if in any doubt, rather leave your boys overnight in no boars' land than transferring them back to the cage too early.

Thank you, I’m just very down to details and try to get everything perfect.
