Home Sweet Home

I just wanted to outline exactly how I set up Picard's cage to make it not only comfortable for him, but easy for me to clean up every few days.
We already have a subscription to the Arizona Republic, so I use the newspaper as free bedding.
(Since I took these pictures I have stopped using store-bought bedding all together, and I no longer include the shoe box lid because it was getting kind of gross).

Because of the way the newspaper is layered, it's really easy to fold up and put in the trash. After that I wipe out the plastic bottom of the cage with a soapy cloth and let it air dry before putting in the new newspaper.
