Title: Messy cage
Post by: Jose Chinchilla on May 24, 2011, 05:07:55 PM

Is there something out there that is made to go around the bottom of the cage or something that will keep all poo and bedding from getting kicked out of the cage?

my cage came with a clear plastic cover for the outside of the bottom part but to be honest, it was more trouble than it was worth and it's no longer there :)

I have to pick up the hay too or it clogs.When it does I just squeeze the hose till it frees.Some times I do have to drive a stick down the hose.I have had all sizes of shop vacs and the nozzle is just to small to carry the hay.I use it every day though to clean cages and their floors. ::nod::
You can get them just about anywhere.

ok, thanks. So it doesn't solve the hay problem though. :(
