its fine during cleanings but how long have you had the enclosure set up for? spot cleaning is more efficient and less stressful than a full strip down of the cage. I only do full cleanings once a month unless theres an issue in the tubs.

Its been a month that I did'nt clean and disinfect the enclosure.
