I just cleaned out the cage myself last night and had a bucket of warm
water with a nasty pine cleaner in it and I had to have help fending off
all six of the creatures! They were *determined* to jump into that
bucket! Sheesh. They will eat, jump into or otherwise immerse themselves
into almost anything that's bad for them!
