How do you clean?

[Andrew21]

With my mice, I take all the breeders out and put them in a container then take the babies and put them in the same container. I haven't had any problems.

How do you guys move the adult rats? Do you pick them up in your hand?

Yep when my blue momma has pinks she gets nippy but if I move babies first shes more then happy to get scooped up. I pick them up under belly an for males hand on butt too when they big. The hold back girls im growing up walk onto my hand an up arm so they easy to grab

I take the adult(s) out first, scoop the pinks/babies out & put them in with their mom & some "soiled" bedding for the odor, clean the dirty tub & replace the bedding then reverse the process. Sometimes leather welding gloves are used, lol! I have a nifty scar from a mama who wasn't having it when I went to clean tubs & moved her babies. She's since gone to the Big Rat Rack in the sky but I don't take chances any more after that.
