We normally put them around our neck, our bhp's included, as its very convenient and we hope they realise what a mess they made and to clean up after themselves next time. |

If you use plastic container, wipe it after individual animal use with desinfectant.
In case one of your animal have some infection or respiratory problem in beginning stage, you do not have collection infected.
Some time the animal can have problem in starting stage and you can't visibly notice it. People with large collection must be curefull about this things. |

Heat should be provided a few hours a day over winter if you do cool it. Try not to allow the temperature to drop of under 17C
Noises won't affect it. | | |
