Does anyone else love cleaning their pig cages? I do. I really really do.
Okay, I don't actually look forward to it on Mondays but, I know it has to be done and it's always a hoot. I boot the pigs to one side while I roll up the fleece and towels and fix up one side of the cage. Then I scoot them over to the other side, roll that bedding up and then lay down the rest. I do squirt each side down with vinegar and wipe it out really well with paper towels. I also clean out their hay bin with soap and water, clean out their pellet bin and wash it with soap and water and swap out water bottles. I scrub down toys, sweep around the cage and rearrange stuff. Everything always looks so clean and brand new and they look so happy.
I only started using fleece bedding about two months ago. I was using CareFresh their kitchen area but stopped that about two weeks ago. Our house is now litter free! *laughs* Having these little guys has been so much fun. Having them wheek and popcorn while I work in my studio is so much fun.
About once a day I vacuum out the cages, lift up their houses and freshen things up. They have become such a fixture here that, I cannot imagine not having their noises and smells around me all the time.
I am so smitten.
