Cleaning Your Pet Mouse Cage

"Hi! My name is Sarah, I’m at Petland in Pembroke Pines, Florida tonight and on behalf of expertvillage.com, I’m going to speak with you a little bit about caring for mice. As far as cleaning your mouse cage goes, you want to clean it thoroughly and change the bedding once a week. The food bowl should be cleaned every day with hot soapy water and wiped out thoroughly. The wheel can be cleaned once a week and when you clean the rest of the cage. The bedding should be completely changed out every time you clean the cage. The bedding, generally should be changed out once to twice a week. It is important when you clean the cage that you also clean the wire part as well as the bottom part of the cage. As far as cleaning the cage goes, you should use hot soapy water or you can use a diluted bleach solution. You should use it very diluted, such as one part bleach a 30 parts water. Whatever you use, weather it be the hot soapy water or the bleach solution, you should rinse it very very thoroughly and let it air dry completely before putting your mouse back in the cage."
