How often do you clean the cage?

Kathyscresteds Nov 09, 2005 10:02 PM

My crested gecko seems to be doing well. He is an older male, but I have only had him for a month. He seems to be afraid of crickets, has had a "mask" of unshed skin on his nose for two weeks, and I've been hand feeding him since it is the only way I can be sure he is eating. Anyway, I'm figuring I ought to clean his cage. Can you all offer any advice? Oh yes, since I am hand feeding him, he seems to have decided that he should poop when he is out of his cage, so there hasn't been much of that to clean up.

I spot clean my cages every other day when I do feeds. I clean the entire cage every 2-3 weeks or so. I use chlorhexidine when spot cleaning and ajax/palmolive dish soap when scrubbing the entire cage.
