Pet habitat upkeep
Cage cleaning is the routine maintenance of enclosures for pets, laboratory animals, or zoo specimens—removing waste, replacing bedding, and sanitizing surfaces.
The task ranges from quick daily spot-cleaning to thorough weekly scrubdowns: Cage cleaning for the hamsters takes about ten minutes.
In research settings, cage cleaning follows strict protocols to prevent contamination and ensure animal welfare.
