It’s important to clean your rat’s cage if you want to keep him happy and healthy. The trouble is, cleaning the cage can do a number on the environment. Here are a few tips that will enable you to clean your rat’s cage the green way.

Avoid disposable wipes when you’re cleaning the cage. That means not using disinfectant wipes or paper towels when you’re wiping the cage clean. Use washrags that can be thrown in the washing machine instead.

The cleaners you choose can make a difference too, not only to the environment, but also to the health of your pet. Make your own cleaner using vinegar and water instead of using harsh chemicals from the store.

When dumping out your rat’s bedding, put it in a biodegradable garbage bag! For more green tips, click here, or ask your veterinarian Grayson, GA for advice.
