So, every quarter in school I get money for my grades. if I get all A's, I get $100. I figure a new cage would make my Maria so much more happy, but the ones at the store are way overpriced (Hers was almost $100 for a small cage!), so I'm going to make her a C&C cage when I get some money in a few months! It'll be two stories, and have a ramp and a hay bin. Of course, I'm going to try and litter train her in the mean time since C&C cages are harder to clean (in my opinion). Plus, it'd be way more sanitary for her. Imagine her surprise when she has a huge cage to explore with some brand new toys. I can hear the WHEEEKS! now!

I was wondering, how do you go about cleaning a C&C cage? I know how in general, but what are your methods? Just detach the grids and live the grid that is connected to the coroplast on and take it out and dump the contents in the dumpster? (that's how I get rid of the stuff in her cage when i clean it, I take the plastic bottom out to the dumpster and then hose it down and dry it.)
 
It's going to be about 1.8 grids wide, 3 grids long, 2 grids high, and that's where my dresser ends, but I have a desk with shelves right next to it so if I put supports from the second grid level for a loft overlaping onto the shelf I have enough room for a nice sized loft for her that is 1x1.5-1.8. (14'' per grid). With a ramp made out of 1 grid wrapped in a towel so she can comfortably climb it. (better for space than a 3 grid long ramp.). It'd be about $86.20, but her current cage is about that expensive and it's waaaay smaller.
 
I have a C&C cage and use fleece bedding in it. To clean out I just roll up the bedding, pop it in a big bag, take it outside and shake into bin. Then another shake and wash it (in a bag to protect the washer). In the meantime I spray the correx and wipe it and dont remove the tray, but I think others maybe do remove the tray - I just reach in.
Hope this helps - this might not be the best way but it suits me :)

Thanks :). Sadly, I'm not allowed to do any laundry at my house (really old washer, somehow that means i'll "break it" {:|). Plus, they only buy pine shavings because it's the cheapest option.
