I've lost faith in wooden houses and toys since I found mite larvae on 2 houses and a wooden bridge in Willie's cage after she died. Both houses were plastikoted but it didn't stop them laying eggs in cracks. It's such a hassle disinfecting wood (i thought it was easy in the oven but it only kills live mites and u have to keep repeating it) that with my boys i've gone back to cardboard which they love and is replaceable monthly (it has to be weekly at the moment!) without too much expense or change for them.
