When Cleaning Your Ferret's Cage

      Cleaning a ferrets cage can be a little bit tricky, so here are some tips on how to do it.

     First you will want to make sure all you ferrets are out of the cage so they don't interfere with the cleaning. Now what you will need is: A plastic bag, rag or paper towel, pooper scooper, whatever you use for litter (DO NOT USE CLAY CAT LITTER)and a cleaner. Make sure to use 100% all natural cleaner or vinegar and water. First, change the bedding(that includes hammocks, sleeping sacks, etc.) and wipe down the cage. 
     Now for the litter boxes, scoop all the poo out of the litter box. It's ok to leave some of the used litter in there as long as you took out all the poo. Place the poo in the plastic bag. Put a good amount of fresh litter in there. Make sure then you wipe down the sides of the litter box.
     When you get to the food and water, wash the bowl and water bottle. Then fill the bowl with fresh food and fresh purified water. Also make sure after you put clean toys and sleepers in. After I'm done i like to spray the cage with deodorizer. 
     For 1 ferret you should clean the cage every other day (or everyday if you want). But every day you need to change the litter box and food. If you have 2 or more ferrets do this everyday for sure.
