[cypher]

Wood will probably hold Misty's scent for quite some time so you can't just give it to another hamster, you could clean it but the colour runs out of those I think if they get really wet, if I want to remove the scent from wood I soak things in unscented safe disinfectant (I use safe4) dry completely then still let things air out for a while after just to be sure, that does seem to work but it takes time & I haven't tried it on coloured wood I must admit, might get a bit messy!
