I Reuse my wooden boxes and have never had a problem...As Wayne said....I disinfect with a bleach solution and let them dry in the sun....I have alot of boxes so there is sometimes quite a period of time before they are reused, 2-3 weeks sometimes. I guess if you immediately reused them and didn't make sure they were completely clean after each use; you might run into trouble.

It's an interesting design really. As long as it works for you and your rabbits, that's all that matters!

Hello BDial,
may I ask what breed you are working with?
How large are those nestboxes?
The box need only be two inches longer and two inches wider
than the Doe it will be used for.
I would suggest that you make one nestbox for each Doe and allow only that Doe to use it. Make a few extra nestboxes to have on hand.
There is no reason to toss a nestbox once it is used.
They can be easily disinfected with a 20% bleach and water solution.
Clean all the gunk out than disinfect, allow to dry in the Sun if possible. It is penny wise and dollar foolish to scrap a nestbox
after each use. If you are going to throw them away, toss them in my direction. I will put them to good use.
