how do you change the bedding in the cage?

The liner doesn't really serve as a bedding, I use fleece however some use regular bedding in it as well. When you take out the actual bedding there are some products that will help you clean the under lining, though

I just scoop mine out with a broom pan and into the garbage. I have two of these cages and it usually takes me about 30 min. to replace bedding and wipe down the cage.

We use a yard of fleece on top, a bath towel under the fleece, and the bottom layer is newspaper. The towel prevents the newspaper from sticking to the fleece and also absorbs waste along with the newspapers. It seems using either fleece, or shavings/bedding material, is a personal choice - whatever works for someone works best for them. We started using fleece with this cage - it's cheaper and very easy to clean. We have two yards of fleece so one can be washing while the fresh one goes into the cage.

I used the divider in the middle to close them off to the "play side," while I cleaned their "dining side." then, I would refill their food bowls and put treats in the dining side to lure them over there, and close it off to clean the play side.

At first we used disposable puppy training pads, but found that too be very costly (cage is 8 sq ft). Then I bought a stack of fleece of the appropriate size (at $1.97 a yard at Walmrt. Double layered). Every evening we replace the fleece by taking it outside, shaking it out, and putting it in a special basket. When the basket is full (about every 5-6 days), we launder the fleece.

To change bedding... First - line the cage with newspaper before you even start! That makes it easier to change each week. Remove the piggy and all the gear. Use dust pan to remove some of the shavings and place in large garbage bag. Carefully roll up the newspaper w shavings and put in garbage. Use dust pan to finish cleaning shavings. Use Clorox wipes or similar to clean bottom and sides. Place several layers of newspaper on bottom then add shavings, piggy, and gear. Hope this helps!

Not sure because I don't have it anymore but I wouldn't recommend this cage. It's a hassle to clean because there's no door on top, wire is thin/ easily bendable. I've found that MARCHIORO brand are the best cages. Maybe a few more $$ but so worth the lack of effort and aggravation!

I am returning the habitat because of the design. The openings through the side wire are very small and it would be very hard to clean without taking the whole cage apart.

I really do not know....but the bedding came from Wal-Mart for a lot less than I was charged through Price Cellar. You might want to check in the store or on-line.

I attached mine to an old piece of a cage siding, and then tied the extra cage piece to the inside of the breeding cage. I also glued a little hook to the top of the box and tied it to the cage. That helped to keep in steadier. I have a couple of the Petco Cockatiel Barn Roof cages that have one very high area. There was plenty of room for my budgie pair in the cage, even with the box sitting on the cage floor.

We had to look at the cage online believe it or not, it was a mess but well worth it, I love the cage and so do my two white Doves. Start at the bottom and work your way up, it comes together for you better and you can see how the cage fits in. Good luck, if I can help feel free to ask. Marie

You could contact the manufacturer & see if they'll send you the correct one free of charge. Otherwise, I would exchange it (the whole cage) for a new one.

you can't and it is really difficult and takes alot of time to put the cage together. great cage after putting together but cleaning is a chore.

I have no idea, but I love the cage. You would probably have to give them a flooring right? I think its a great cage for the price and have zero complaints. Very roomy and I like that it is wide.

There are 2 small doors, one on each side for nest boxes, but I send my cage back. Way to expensive and went to the Chino swap meet. They sell them there (exact cage) for $10.00, and I bought a lot of 6 cages in the box so he sold all six to me for $54.00 which makes it $9.00 each. You may want to try your local swap meet!! Good luck

I think there are several different sizes. The one I got would be way too big for that cage.

That's a common problem. I've tried cutting them down to fit and just wedging them in... Neither worked very well at all. What has ultimately worked was drilling two holes in the front/top of the boxes and getting some fine gauge stainless steel wire and running the wire through the holes to attach to the cage. It seems like a lot of work, but honestly, I like the boxes enough to make the modifications worthwhile. Good luck!

Haha had the same problem but then,I decided to put the nesting box into the cage. Though I did get a new cage since it wouldn't work with the other one so got a new cage and put the nesting box inside. I hope this helps you out if not then I'm sorry I couldn't be any help to you.

You must have bedding to absorb urine, and keep their little bottoms warm. I suggest fleece. I have 3 guineas and 2 cages connected end to end by a ramp. These are wonderful cages! I've owned the first cage 2 years and it holds up great

I think you're asking for the bed itself rather than the bedding (which is wonderful!). I suspect you should ask that question under Amazon beds.

it was too wide for my cage so i had to cut the divider down to size with industrial clippers, slide it in the middle of the cage and wire it to the cage with zip ties or trash bag ties. It is working for me though. Keeps the Guinea's from fighting.

I simply unzipped it and washed it in the washing machine. Air dry it or dry it on low heat though. I forgot to turn the temp down on one of the three covers (I own 3 of these beds) and it was a bit difficult to get it back on.
