Cynthia:
I have modified a Midwest Cage, too. Mine was second hand and no longer had
any clips on the bottom. I just lift the whole wire part off the base to
clean it. A suggestion, though -- I clip a sheet across the bottom, sort of
curving it up a bit at the edges, to catch debris. It's *so* much easier to
clean ... you just unclip, carefully fold it up and shake it out into the
garbage can. I only need to lift the wire off for a thorough cleaning every
other month now.
