How to clean a hamster cage

Hello Hamster court

Hamster cage cleaning is a thing all hamster owners must do  must do. But how often? And how? Today i will tell you how clean a hamster  cage.

First of all you should only fully clean the cage once a moth because cleaning is stressful fo hamsters and should not be done weekly like you’re often told. Instead every few days or every day depending on how messy you hamster is you spot clean. This means going through your hamsters borrows and wheel usually and sometimes Sand bath (  like bingly who always uses his sand bath as his litter box) and removing all the urine.  You do this more often because urine is wet and anything wet builds up bacteria. 

Then once a month go through the cage all the accessories and hamster and put him/Her in a travel cage then remove only half the bedding  ( the messiest bit) and pit it in the bin. ( If you can remove only 1/3rd of the bedding.) Then put the other half in a bag to replace at the end.

Next remove half of your hamsters nesting materiel and again  put half in a bag to replace later. 

Then with some hamster safe spray ( or you could make your own with half water and half vinegar) and spray all of the plastic items  then wipe them down. Also remove and replace the hamster sand and wipe down the tub. Look for any chew toys that need to be replaced.

Then wipe down the cage itself. Now is the time to replace the bedding half new and half old. Mix the bedding to spread the hamsters old sent around so none of the cage smells to new. Now replace the nesting material. Then the accessories and then the hamster itself. 

So here is how to clean a cage properly I hope I could help anyone unsure  of how/ when to clean a cage
