How often does an enclosure need to be cleaned?
The bedding must be changed regularly. The cleaning interval varies depending on the animal species. Rat and mouse urine has an intense odour and the enclosures must be cleaned up to twice a week. With rabbits, it is frequently only possible to change the faeces corner and the rest as required. Hamster and gerbil enclosures should not be changed so often, otherwise the animals will no longer feel comfortable. When changing the bedding, always leave some old bedding in the enclosure.
