When I add Eddie to the C&C cage, I am going to clean off everything with the 1/2 water 1/2 vinegar solution. My question is do you just spray and then wipe it off, or should you rinse the solution off afterwards? I don't want them to have an overwhelming vinegar smell in the cage.

You can just wipe it down, you dont have to rinse it. If there are certain spots on the cage that are real dirty use 100% vinegar. Its strong but doesnt lingar, so by the time its dry and ready for your bedding it will be fine.

You might also want to consider putting them down for floortime together while you're cleaning. That way you can spray the cage down and give it a good amount of time to air dry before adding bedding and piggies.

Yea, I was going to do introductions and if it looked like they were getting along fine, I would start cleaning and later on put them all in.
