I have had my 1.5 YO sav in his 8x3x2 enclosure for a couple weeks and I have to admit, the hardest part about cleaning the cage is changing the huge water pan. Its about 1ft wide, 3 ft long and 6 in deep. Its like a huge tupperware/target plastic tub. Everytime I try to pick it up when its full of the NASTY water, it winds up bowing and spilling and becoming a total mess.

I was just wondering how people like Mike and Robyn and FR clean their huge water bowls. Is it easier to drain the water first? Or should I get a stronger tub that wont spill. Its still hard to walk to the outside door with all that water too.

I was thinking about finding a way to syphon the water out before changing it.

Any tips? I would appreciate it!
