Cleaning & Care of Acrylic Cages & Carriers
After having used these cages for the past 10 years we have developed what
we feel is the best method to care for your pet bird in your new acrylic
cage. Our main concern is to keep our birds in the cleanest, healthiest
environment we can and have that task be as easy as possible.
Contact
us for information on safe products to use for cleaning.
-
The tray of your cage should have the paper changed at least once a
day. Also, be sure to wipe out the tray with the product recommended
above.
-
Spot clean the rest of the cage daily. Check for any waste or food that
has been smeared on the side. With these cages it is both visible and
easily removed. Note: Daily touch up of your cage is essential for your
birds well being and makes the thorough every two to three week cleaning
of your cage very easy.
-
Every three days the underside of the tray and the bottom of the cage
that the tray rests on should be thoroughly wiped down. The trays can
not fit exactly (or they would not slide) and some waste or food can
get under them.
-
Every two to three weeks the cage should be completely taken apart and
thoroughly wiped down. This involves removing the roof, tray and everything
inside the cage. Having the cage rest on a stand that is on wheels can
simplify this step greatly, especially with the larger models of cages.
It allows you to gain access to any part of the cage easily. We have
an excellent line of cage stands that are custom built for these cages,
but any stand that completely supports the bottom of the cage is fine.
NOTE:
The roof and tray (or trays) of your acrylic cage are the parts you should
be the most careful with. Since your cage (including the roof and tray)
are clear it is quite easy (if you are not paying attention) to break them
(typically they may crack and can be fixed at your cost if you contact us)
by dropping them or banging them into something. Also be careful when moving
the entire cage for the same reasons.
Although we use the most scratch resistant clear acrylic
available it is still possible for you to scratch your cage. If you scratch
your cage there is a sample of Novus 2 scratch polish enclosed - if you
need more contact us. Only use white paper towels (we have found Bounty
to work well) to clean or buff your cage.
We sincerely believe our acrylic cages are the best cages
we have ever used. If you have any questions or comments about our cages
please feel free to contact us.
