How often should you clean out a cage or a tank?
Weekly. It goes on the list when you tell it there is a cage or a tank.
What it actually is, and what shifts it
Ammonia from urine builds up in an enclosed cage long before you can smell it, and small animals are breathing at floor level. Spot-clean the wet corner between full changes and the full change gets a great deal easier.
Put it on a list that reminds you
“Clean out the cage or tank”, weekly. Tick it when it is done and the next date is counted from that day, not from when it was due.
