how does the cage gets cleaned?

You separate top and bottom, wash them and replace bedding and litter material. It's simple and easy to clean up.

Super easy to clean! We take ours outside and take the top off from the bottom and use a hose to clean it. Leave it in the sun for a couple hours to dry or use a towel to dry it and you are ready to reassemble. Super easy to clean because it's all plastic!

Every other day I pull out the "waste basket" and dump the rabbit droppings, etc. About every ten days I take a hose to the entire cage since it is plastic. All the sections come apart and snap back together super easily, takes about 5 minutes. Cleaning this cage is simple.

You simply pull out the little drawer that is below the grate inside & dump it. I always washed mine out, as well, but that is a personal preference. The cage comes apart easily for weekly, biweekly or monthly full cleaning. For whatever reason, the rabbits seem to know to do their "business" down that grate, which is awesome, since it goes down into that little pull out drawer for easy cleaning.

Nah, they'll just kick it off. You can line the levels with fleece or just wipe then clean when you clean the cage.

No, this product is not washable. I use it in a parrots cage. The tray is lined with newspaper and the Prevue liner is on top of the newspaper. Usually, I can just pull up the Prevue liner and toss in the trash. If it is damp (when she takes a bath it can get wet), I might pick up one layer of newspaper with the liner to keep things fresher. Then I cut a new piece of Prevue liner and put the tray back in the cage. You get a big roll of the product and I think it is worth trying it with your ferret. Be sure to give your ferret something clean to tear up, usually something made out of cotton. They can make a bed or just hide under it. No, this product is not washable. I use it in a parrots 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.

No not to my knowledge. I use lysol wipes once a day and weekly vinigar and water. I keep my cockatoo out of the cage for at least an hour for drying time and odor.

A year supply of food comes with the kit. I know this is random but I don't recommend getting a filter cage if you want a way to keep it clean. I have had experience with that after getting a mystery snail and wanted to keep the tank cleaned.

The perche inside the cage seems to be an actual piece of like tree wood. when i got it i washed it until the water ran clean. The other perch for the top is wood.

It has a big shiny slide out pan covering the mane coop floor I just slide it out and scrub the shiny part I wet it down even though it's cedar I know in doing this it will one day damage it I clean it 1-2 times a week. Then it has cedar bottom for the nest box area you can pull it up and that's it, it's quick and easy, it takes me more time to clean my bird cage!

No, I take the top of the cage apart once a week to wash the grate. very light and easy to do tho.

The cage can be removed from the base. The cage is a bit heavy so not as easy as I would like. I wipe the cage down completely daily and only break it down on a monthly basis to give it a thorough cleaning.

Very easy, you can actually unscrewed cage slip off each parts and clean each parts. That was a pleasant surprise to me.

To clean the cage I remove all of the plastic levels and the wire top and scrub the levels and the base. It takes a little bit of time and the levels are a little difficult to remove. I found that when you pop one side off then drop it down the other side is much easier to remove. I hope that this has helped you.

While it's not toxic to the bird, I cleaned the cage with this product while the bird was out of the cage, then wiped it down real good with a clean damp cloth to get any residual mess from the cage.

There is a plastic pan that slides out for cleaning. Only problems we had were rabbits that sprayed the walls of the hutch, which drained outside the pan. Would only recommend for outdoor or barn use.

Love the size of the cage. We have four cages for 5 gps. with litter pans and fleece. It's not 100% that they will use the pan. And we've had several water bottle leaks and disasters. It's all such a pain to clean/vacuum off fleece, etc... It has to be easier? I don't want to divide the space because they love running. What is the easiest, fastest, pet friendly way to clean them? THANKS!!!

Easy! Just lift the main unit off the base and the base unit is exposed for easy cleaning. Just lift the cage out off the base that contains the wick and go for it. The instructions recommend weekly cleaning and sterilizing. Two of the 3 units I have purchased this season have reached 750 hours of operation when "CF" check filter) appears on the readout. I opened both units and determined that there was no reason to do a deep cleaning at that time. I add a few caps full of bacteriostat to every other filling to keep mold and mildew out of the unit. If you have hard water, the wicks will harden with mineral deposits quickly and will need to be replaced. I have hard water and have not yet felt it necessary to replace these wicks. They are fairly cheap at around $13 each (1 per unit). I am hoping to get a full season out a wick. Hope this helps.

The bottom grate on the Petco green dome bird cage can be unhooked to cleaned. Yet, there is another option!!! If food dishes are taken out the inside base grate can be tilted up and wiped clean without removing the base from the cage.
