    Cleaning tub questions

    I keep my rats in tubs and I'm wondering if you guys clean the tubs and change the bedding all in one? Or do you change the bedding only? Is ok to clean the tubs themselves every other week?

    I throw the bedding out, scrape the tub with something like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Pcs-Yellow...item4608471535 and than put some new bedding in.

    Dump, bleach, scrub and rinse every time.

    We actually have twice as many tubs as we need so we are able to get all the tubs ready, then swap out the rats into their new tub. Then we can go thru and clean all the tubs at once instead 1 by 1.
    It cost us alittle more initially but has more than made up for it with the time it has saved us.
