    First babies!!!
    My first rattie just had babies. I have 5 more due any day too.

    I wanted to find out how long should I wait til I can clean their bin again.

    They will be due to be clean in a couple of days but I wasn't sure how long I should wait after they had babies to clean .

    Whats the best way to go about cleaning the bins out with babies present?

    I have two females per bin .

    Any suggestions and advise will be Greatly appreciated.
    Thanks mel
    Excited to have wee ones!

    I try to clean the bin when I see the mom is ready to burst, hopefully giving her plenty of clean bedding when the pups arrive. But I have cleaned a few days after mom had her pups and have never had any issues. Other than that I also clean all bins once a week.
