I just bought a new cage for my rabbit. It's a used cage, clean and in very good condition, but used.
It was clean when I received it, but I took a sponge and poured rubbing alcohol on it and went over the entire cage inside and out, and then wiped it off with several wet paper towels.
Is this enough to kill anything (bacteria, viruses...) that might cause illness to an animal?
I have a bottle of vinegar too that I use to clean his litterbox and his old cage, which I could use to go over it again. Or I could buy something.
I don't know when the previous inhabitant died, or what from. How long to bacteria and viruses live on surfaces like this?
