>>bah! I went and did it. Got the rocks.

>>How often do you clean enclosures?



Great....



We are like you - remove feces regularly, and leaf droppings. As far as taking the cage apart, we find that differs with the different cages we utilize. If we use catch tubs (in solid bottom cages), then we clean them weekly - scrubbing, and using Nolvasan and/or bleach. If it is a bottom drain cage (screen bottom), we squirt them down with Healthy Habitat (uses enzymes to break down organic matter). If there is a need for disinfecting, we use diluted bleach and/or Nolvasan (remove the animals).



We take out the plants to wash them off and prune when needed. If there is lots of droppings on the plant leaves, we squirt those down with soapy water and rinse - or Healthy Habitat.



We have about 200 cages, so this gets to be a project. The Healthy Habitat is a life saver..... it can be used with the chams present. Made by "Natural Chemistry Products" - this is not a plug - just letting you know it is a handy product.



For your cage, finding a catch tub would be a good idea. There are some that are 2ft x 2ft out there. We use a 5gal shop-vac to eliminate the excess drips and moisture from the tubs.
