How I do it as well. just make sure when moving them for the clean you get the momrat transfered first - some don't take too well to that sort of intrusion - makes it less dodgy. They get a little frantic about it of course and (very) rarely she may take a bite at that intrusive hand - fery vew and far bewtween with ours
