Answer 3

i would clean it out once every week

Answer 4

When it starts to smell. I use fleece for bedding, so I spot clean at least once a day, you can use either a vacuum or a little dust pan and brush. I wash the fleece and towels once a week. But if I had aspen or care fresh I would still spot clean every few days and do an overall cleaning once a week.

Answer 5

Clean out ALL the bedding once a week and everyday clean out just the p**p and pee

Answer 6

It would probably be best to clean it once a week.  I've never had one, but I've had other caged animals, mostly frogs and cleaned their cage  AT LEAST once a week.  If they live in nasty cages, they can get sick.

Answer 7

when ever it gets dirty

Answer 9

They are known for their digging and burrowing. To keep your guinea pig healthy, it is imperative you keep it's cage clean especially if you are feeding it fresh fruits and veggies. Neglecting to change the bedding can inhibit mold growth, and that can make your little friend VERY sick. I would suggest that you empty it out and add new bedding AT LEAST once a week. And change the food water and treat dishes daily. Besides, you will want to keep the cage clean, guinea pigs have very pungent urine!! STINKY! Make sure that when you clean the cage, you use a mild detergent free of ammonia or bleach, otherwise it an cause them to loose their fur from skin irritation.

Good luck to you and your new little friend!
