Big thanks to everybody who's responded to my post! I have heaps of replies, which I'm trying to get through as we speak. I appreciate your help so much ^_^ I should also have mentioned in my original post that we feed our boys a raw/natural diet[*] here, which includes things like livers and hearts, which is why washing the lining of their cage is so important - we get blood-and-guts stains everywhere otherwise ^_^;; So yeah, the ease of throwing things into the washing machine is probably the most important part. [*Please don't let that start a food fight. I'm only mentioning it because it affects the bedding I need! XP] Thanks again folks ^_^ - - - - - - - - - - - - - Fox Lee: The Girl Your Mother Warned You About http://hypercrescendo.net/foxlee/fls/ http://www.furbiddenrealms.com http://blurty.com/users/leechimera/ "Tell MSB he doesn't understand alignments.
