With three glider colonies and an opossum in a super large and heavy double cage, I pretty much have five large cages to clean so it can take some time.

I used this opportunity to also install square mesh flooring in the remaining two glider cages. The smaller mesh gives the animals more to rest onto so they might actually be able to open their feet while on the cage floor instead of having to grab a tiny bar for stability.

You can see the difference between the floor and the walls.

The smaller mesh is also a happy thing for the larger opossum that I keep. You can see the difference the mesh makes on the floor of her cage from the left and right sides in this photo. She goes to the 1" right side to poop and the left is where she eats and hangs out if not up high on the branches or in her nest.



If you are watching at the right times, you can actually see Robin emerge from her comfy heated nestbox to come out to the cage floor to do what she does.
