We had the same problem last summer (we keep our ferrets outdoors in a ferret-court)and what I ended up doing was using the sterilising tablets that you use to sterilise babies' bottles.I'm sure you'll be able to buy them over there,but don't know a brand name.You could also use a liquid steriliser for the same purpose (Milton?).It bleaches them but is quite gentle......in fact you don't need to rinse for babies stuff,so it must be mild!I also found a toothbrush quite useful for scrubbing them out when they were really ackky. Hope it helps........ K. [Posted in FML issue 2308]
