Who actually enjoy cleaning their rats' cages?

When I first started having rats, I had the SPE, and I would have anxiety attacks having to clean that stupid thing. I then switched to a flight cage, the doors sucked, but the shelves were easier to get in/out..so I didn't enjoy it..but my anxiety attacks stopped. I've since switched to a DFN and a DCN, and I've gotten a good routine down. Each section is a separate cage. I have 2 pairs, a group of 3, and a single boy. So I just do one section a day, and each section, depending on if I crank it out, or pause to watch tv, play with ratties, etc, takes anywhere from 1/2 hour to 4 hours lol! But I don't mind it...and I love to sit and watch the ratties enjoy a clean cage.

Yeah, and pee all over it. LOL! Par for the course!

Gotta admit I had fun with this cage clean as the boys are nearly 100% potty trained and it was so much easier.
And I redecorated and moved some shelves around...spent another hour watching them explore!

FUN! I wish I could say mine were potty trained. :/

Now that I am ratless I do miss it. It felt good to have a newly clean, decorated cage.

Since I moved into a new apartment without a washer and dryer, I have to hand wash my fleece liners and hammocks... so it's a lot more annoying! BUT, the the fabric smells much fresher for longer when washing by hand, not sure why, but at least that's one plus.
