I wash mine in the washer on the delicate cycle. I feel it gets a lot cleaner than any cage does, even after hours of scrubbing, plus it is so much easier.
Ya it is the lowest price I have found so far, when you buy as many as I do a couple of dollars makes a big differance. He is currently working on getting them to us at even a lower rate, basicaly the more he sells the cheaper he gets them. If you are using them for rescues be sure and let him know, he will help you out even more.
For those who are worried about a glider chewing through the reptarium mesh; The reinforced nylon is stronger than aluminum screen cages, so I wouldnt worry too much about it being chewed through. Unless you have a crazy mad biter...
I have heard of a couple gliders chewing holes through the repts. It has taken some time to do, but if they continue chewing on one spot than eventually they will get that hole they are trying for. Hopefully by the time that happens you will have noticed it and can stop it.
I just got my Reptarium this week, I planned on making it my weekend travel cage. Well I put it together and thought that i would see how my babies like it, so I put it inside our tent this evening and both gliders were chewing the outside of the rep, like crazy. I have never seen them chew on anything with the exception of me, should I get a diffrent type of travel cage or will this chewing subside? Is it because its a new smell? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nixweiss.gif" alt="" />
I have a reptarium, you can hang things like you do in the cage by using styro foarm....just get 2 pieces of string and hang styrofoam from the top side of it and them stick things through it. There's a bunch of ways you can hang things. You just have to be creative. I know a bunch of ways to make shelves and hang things. As for soft trays I just use fleece at the bottom of it. My babies love their 260g reptarium. They're nails never have gotten caught. Hope I helped. =)

skylar i dont think you should have styro foam in your cage. its highly dangerous. if your gliders chew on it or digest it it could be fatal. i would take it out immediatly and find a new way to hang stuff
You can also use plastic cable ties around the frame pieces. I wouldn't use styro inside the cage, either, but outside a reptarium, if that's what you mean, by poking things thru the netting to it, might work, since the gliders couldn't chew on it that way.
I got my reptarium a few days ago and set it up and found that with some of the smaller hooks i could just hook them directly through the netting. Is this ok or will it tear it or not support the gliders weight?

I think it will be OK if you are careful not to break the nylon strands of the webbing when you hang it. Hope so anyway, no guarantees implied!

lol thanks! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thanx.gif" alt="" /> I wasnt sure since no one had mentioned it. I guess ill just have to try it and if I tear the reptarium i'll just have to buy a replacement cover and try a different way <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nixweiss.gif" alt="" />
