Hi there, Bert and I are new here and to each other. I adopted him a few weeks ago, he is 1 year old. There are a lot of questions but tonight I'd like to ask about him and my hygiene and that of my other animals. I know to wash my hands before and after handling him but what about the other surfaces of my body, like my arms, neck? Also the towels, floor and couch? Will he transmit anything there that I should be worried about? I also have very curious cats that want to "check him out", can they catch anything from each other? Also, he has very sharp nails right now and is scratching me all over, should I be worried about that kind of contact? Sorry, I know he is not dirty but i'm worried about salmonella etc. Thanks in advance
