If your cage does not open at the top (adding to cleaning difficulty) PM Nancy I believe she has a way to fix it that she would probably give you directions for.
Also I just wanted to say that liners are so much easier to clean than shavings. I have mice, budgies and a hedgehog and the hedgehog cage is definitely the easiest to clean.
Last night was cleaning night, Quigley went in his playpen. I took the dirtly liner out, shook out the loose dirt and used a tissue to pick of the stuck on stuff. Used my dustbuster to pick up all the loose crumbs and dirt from the bottom of the cage. Finally I used a rag to wipe it out with vinegar and then wiped it again with just water. That was a full clean. Took 15 minutes tops. It only happens, maybe ... once a week, if that. Other days I just spot clean by picking the poop off the liners or changing the liner without wiping out the bin.
