Hi
I am setting up an above ground colony, using various structures as nesting boxes, hiding houses, etc.
The floor of the colony is dirt, then chicken wire, then deep litter.
About 5mx3m 16x10’ ish

Climate is desert hot and dry most of the year

Run is well shaded and ventilated

I add more brown material every 4 days as it accumulates in certain areas

If anyone would kindly give guidance on the sanitization and hygiene practices that I can look into to keep the place free from parasites?

Of course I will c what works in my particular environment, but before the sh*t hits the fan u know, any steps to take to minimize the risk of desease?

I intend to clean the nest boxes after each litter
Nipple waterers and feeders regularly.

But for the bedding, anything special?
