Hello everyone,

I have a hamster with wet tail she did survive but my problem is she’s on antibiotics but the cage still has the bacteria in there! I don’t know who put her in there and what they did with the quarantine/holding tank. Now Im just concerned about cleaning her current cage and stressing her more and have it come back. I do understand disinfecting the cage as well as full on cage
clean is in order but Im scared she’ll stress out and get it again. We are almost done medicating her. I did ask around and my dad did it…great now she’s in there and it needs to he cleaned nobody even asked me if I cleaned it. Is there anything I can do about reintroducing her after Im done? I have clean n safe wipes for bars and platforms/ramps. No smell of hers will be in there so Im asking is is there a way to keep her stress as low as possible reintroducing her?

She has a 618 sq inch cage (upgrading soon she doesn’t like it).
She has lots of cardboard chews and toys. Need info or pics I’ll try pics Im new here.
