Keeping your rattie's living space clean is essential for their health and happiness. It’s generally recommended to do a deep-clean weekly, with a few mini cleans in between (hammocks, litters etc).

These products are mild enough to use on your rat's bedding, toys, and cage bars without irritating their sensitive noses and skin.
