How do I naturally and safely clean my rabbit's cage and litter box?

Great questions! Rabbits do have very sensitive noses and are sensitive to smells. In looking up cloves, I found that it as a essential oil is not safe for rabbits. That would include the smell as well, so I would avoid using cloves around Hestia. As for cleaning her cage, a vinegar and warm water solution is fine to use to clean her cage, just make sure it's completely dry before you put her back in the cage. I hope this helps!

Thanks for reaching out about Vincent. Adding timothy hay to the litter pan might encourage use. When you see him urine out of the box, pick her up and place her in the box. Give a treat is urines or defecates. Pine shaving should be okay but paper products less dusty. Good luck.

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Generally, rabbits keep themselves pretty clean so you shouldn't be bathing too frequently. However, if you do need to bathe her, you can use Kaytee Squeaky Clean Critter shampoo. This is fine to use as an over the counter product specifically for rabbits.

Hello. You can never go wrong with dilute bleach. One (1) part bleach to nine (9) parts water is effective for just about all viruses & bacteria. Wipe the entire cage down with the dilute bleach, let things sit for about 5-10 minutes & then just wipe dry. No need to rinse. Either replace the litter box with a new one or soak it in the bleach water along with all bowls & dishes. The dishes should be rinsed with water before drying. New bedding will kept your kitten healthy & safe. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Thanks for reaching out. Are you asking will it be safe for ferrets and a good cleaner. Yes since birds are typically more sensitive to chemicals than ferrets. A vinegar solution would work well also. Good luck.

You can use plain vinegar and water in a 50/50 dilution to clean most hard surfaces. Commercial products that are safe to use include Green Works wipes, the Seventh Generation line and the Mrs. Meyer's line of "eco-cleaners".

You can use a "dry bath". Get some cornstarch for infants from the market or pharmacy. Sprinkle it on him and gently rub him down. Use a fine toothed comb to brush out the excess. To clean his feet, use plain unscented baby wipes, pet wipes or a bit of white vinegar on a wash cloth. Scrub gently to remove dirt and odors.
