Cleaning the Cage - Ordor Free Trick

Liquid_Metal Apr 26, 2007 06:36 AM

How often do you guys clean the subtrate or the aquarium?

I found out that if you leave a muffin in the cage for the crickets to eat each week, it also sucks in the odor from the crap that the lizards leave behind. Give it a try and you will see.

Do you have any tips on how to keep the subtrates clean?

Thanks

Every few days I spot clean any visible craps.
Mine tend to crap away from their hides near the water dish.

I don't use muffins for the crickets - I put in a few pieces of cricket gutload, as it adds nutritional value to the crickets.
