once a week, never understand why people do it once a day, they shit far away from where they sleep and dont exactly roll around in it, whats the point?

Turn the water supply off to your toilet at home, and after a week of you crapping in it, away from your bedroom, see how you like the stench!

 

Thats why I clean mine out once a day. Bedding once a week/fortnight.

[stealthy1 3,964]

Full clean out every three days, including nestboxes

[shabadoodoo 16]

i clean the shite every day and clean the whole lot every few days

Dont know whether the way i run my business is wrong, but it seems right to me. I have 8 big cages, each split into 3 sections, bed, cage and outdoor cage.

 

 

 

The ferrets shoite in the cages outside which is hose piped clean every couple of days, the inside cages are probs only cleaned every 7 -10 days, to be honest, the sawdust is clean and dry, and just needs spreading around the cage and topping up.

Now the bedding chamber, it can be a month or 6 weeks until I give this a complete change in the winter, and usually only when the weather is mild to allow them to get a decent bed back together.

Dont think its that much of a trouble if they have a bed for a good few weeks during winter, during summer probs every 2 weeks or so.
