Not sure what anyone else thinks is the really fastest of ways to clean rodent cages...usually my g/f does mice, I do asf's and we split the rats...I do think it actually goes faster on the smaller mice and asf cages with one person dumping and refilling an extra tub and the other person just constantly swapping out the clean tub in place of a dirty one and moving the rodents into the new tub.


As for flooded tubs, I'm in the process of figuring out how I'm going to drill holes in one corner of my tubs and either glue a metal washer in place or put in some kind of rivets or brads so that the water can run out...I may end up with a wet tub, but won't have to worry about one totally flooded. Next step behind that one is putting some kind of catch cans in place under the holes in the tubs to carry off the water that drips down out of them in the event of a valve malfunction.
