How often should I clean my guinea pig’s cage to ensure a hygienic and comfortable living environment for my furry friend? Is a weekly deep clean sufficient, or should I be more meticulous with daily spot cleaning to remove uneaten food and soiled bedding? Furthermore, are there specific indicators that signal it’s time for a thorough cleaning? For example, do noticeable odors or an accumulation of waste necessitate more frequent maintenance? What cleaning supplies are considered safe and effective when it comes to maintaining the cleanliness of the cage without risking my pet’s health? Additionally, how might the size of the cage and the number of guinea pigs residing within it influence the frequency of cleaning required? Are there specific practices or routines that can make the cleaning process less daunting, ensuring I provide a pristine habitat while also managing my time effectively? What role does the type of bedding material play in these considerations?
