    Even if you could, I wouldn't. Any kind of reusable substrate will just grow bacteria and smell awful.

    I would spot clean for a month or two and then change it out.

    honestly i spot clean the cage whenever needed, clean the bowls out once a week or whenever they get alot of aspen in it. and do a routine cleaning on the first of everymonth. i dont take any chances in the cleanliness of my balls.
