Teenage Guinea Pig
Hi guys! I just posting about pet safe disinfectant (if u haven't already read the title) and what my opinion is of it. When my boys were younger I tried many disinfectants to see which one worked the best. The ones I bought ended up somehow cracking on their own and the disinfectant would leak out ( it has stained slot of our items) . So I thought I'd google round to see what other ideas people are usin to clean their pigs cages. I then found the vinegar and water solution (2 parts water and 1 part vinegar. I still live by this today!) this homemade disinfectant is brilliant! It's pretty cheap compared to the shop bought ones which are around £4, it has an ok smell and u don't have to store it anywhere as you could make the amount u need into a bowl or bucket which means you aren't wasting any ( plus u won't get leaky bottles). whenever I clean the pigs cage I never always use disinfectant. Every 2 weeks I will use it. I don't use it every week because disinfectants kill 99.9% of all bacteria. Not all bacteria is bad so I like to give the pigs some time to let them but up some immunity to the good Bacteria and a small amount of bad. Some times I like to wipe down the pigs cage every week with disinfectants ( vinegar and water) but once or twice a month I won't use any at all. I was just letting you guys in on my opinion so no hate comments or anything. U can tell me what u use and when/ how often you use it. I'd love to know! Soz it's so long x
