...cage carpets and turfs are extremely difficult to clean and disinfect, and subsequently become quite STANKY! Short of soaking in detergent (ie a Quaternary ammonium type disinfectant), rinse, then Clorox (1:10-15 dilution), rinse, then drying, the material will have a short cage life. Plus the material can be hard on the belly of BP's. I use unprinted newsprint and a kraft-paper type of material for cage substrate.
