Cleaning is very easy. With this type of substrate, the microbes in the soil breaks everything down if I aerate the soil on a regular basis. I only do complete cleanings/breakdowns once a year at most. We spot clean with long scoops as needed and clean/disinfect water bowls regularly. Our rhino feeds on small to medium sized rats and gets fed every 3-4 weeks.
>>That sounds like a fantastic setup. How do you clean the setup? Do you ever dismantle the cage and give it a cleaning top to bottom or is this necessary? What and how often do you feed the adult rhinos?
