Someone on another forum mentioned they ran out of incubator space, so they tried their dehydrator for hatching eggs and it worked.

I've got a dehydrator.

Same here, also a rotisary......

Well I use wet clothes in the bottom of the hatcher to make for easier cleaning. Then I try to dump and shake them out well before I bleach them, but they inevitably still have shell pieces. Lol

my hatcher has a plastic coated foil lining - it gets a spray of bleach water a few hours to dry. use of plastic baskets keeps it pretty clean

When we have a break in hatching it gets a thourough scrub then fumagated with formaldehyde gas.

All of our stuff gets a spray out, then scrubbed and rinsed. We air dry in the sun and then spray it with a food grade sanitizer. That is again allowed to air dry. we also tend to sit things out in the sun.

When we cull the two rabbits we isolated due to "snuffles" we will do that same on the cages, feeders, and water bottles. It will be at least a week before I can put another rabbit in those cages. The ones they were in before they became ill will be two weeks in the sun before I risk a rabbit in them.
