Cleaning

[clumsyjellyfish]

In my cage I'm going to have a plain soil substrate on the bottom covered by a type of carpeting plant. I will also have potted plants in the enclosure. However, since I will have plants growing directly in the substrate, how will I go about cleaning? I know I'll hose down the potted plants, but what about the bottom?

Just spot clean by picking up the stools every so often, misting down the ground covers well, every now and then, and possibly adding some isopods.

Make sure you put a layer of clay balls or marbles at the bottom to allow drainage and airflow. Without them it will become a sopping mess. I second the isopods as well. They'll break down most fecal matter and refuse you miss when spot cleaning.
