You could for your own peace of mind, althought they wouldn't have then sterilized in the wild

Having said that, I think I would just to be on the safe side as you don't know what they could have come into contact with

Hi Lorraine
I have pebbles in Marly's table. I put them in a sieve and ran hot water over them, then dried them with a clean towel. Hope that helps. Marly loves pebbles

I love using Milton too for sterilising tort stuff, much safer than bleach!
