Is the base removable from time to time? How do you clean it? I mean do you have to dismantle the cage everytime?

well, I have my cage outside on the open porch so all I do is roll it to the edge of the porch, tilt it a little, and use the garden hose on it to wash out litter particles, food particles, etc. I drilled a number of 1/4 inch holes around the edge or the plastic platforms so water drains off quickly. Obviously if I had it inside, cleaning it would require using a shop vac, not a garden hose.

Yes the base can be removed without dismantling the wire part of the cage. The base snaps on with 2 clips on each end (4 total). You'll need to be careful with the 3 tier cage as it will be rather "top heavy" (2 people w/b best). Hope this info helps. These cages are good products.

The base pops off very easily. There are clips that secure the base to the cage.

Yes, the base is very easily removed and easy to clean. I also love that the shelves are sturdy metal with a plastic tray that sits on them and can easily be taken out for cleaning, too. It doesn't need to be dismanted to be cleaned. Once it's together you probably won't want to dismantle it. It's pretty sturdy.

To clean the cage I remove all of the plastic levels and the wire top and scrub the levels and the base. It takes a little bit of time and the levels are a little difficult to remove. I found that when you pop one side off then drop it down the other side is much easier to remove. I hope that this has helped you.

It can be detached but you do not want to do it too often. The metal part is strong and not flimsy at all so you will have to squeeze pretty hard to separate it. Overall bough, I love this cage it is the best!

You simply pull out the little drawer that is below the grate inside & dump it. I always washed mine out, as well, but that is a personal preference. The cage comes apart easily for weekly, biweekly or monthly full cleaning. For whatever reason, the rabbits seem to know to do their "business" down that grate, which is awesome, since it goes down into that little pull out drawer for easy cleaning.

No, it is not removable. We also have never had any problems with our bunnies on a mesh bottom. We do however also provide solid areas for her to stand in. This cage has been great!

We took it apart, cleaned it, then put it back together. It likely was not to be taken apart, but it was a bit disgusting how it was getting dirty. The only part we were not able to clean was where the blue plastic meets the clear plastic in the base. Along that ridge, it still is dirty, but everything else looks pretty much brand new now.

The trays and the cage dividers can be removed (I removed them to give my birds more flight room). My birds always stay in their cage when I am cleaning. The cage itself is nice and large, but I found it a bit flimsy, when cleaning the birds. Still a really good buy.

The entire thing is made out of wrought iron. I've had this cage for over 2 years now, have had no problems. Is easy to clean. The photo does this cage no justice. I absolutely love mine! I have two conures that have PLENTY of room to piddle fart around lol. Good luck!

Yes we have taken ours apart a few times to clean. It is not a easy task but it can be done. Remove the screws and everything comes off to clean. Then the fun part begins to put it all back together again. Remember or take a few pictures before you start removing things...it will make it easier to re-assemble.

No pull out bottom. You have to take the top to clean the cage.The cage has 2 front drop down openings.

I don't believe the grate can be removed, but that is the purpose of this type of cage in order to make cleaning the tray easy. The holes in the grate are beveled and small enough that it doesn't seem to cause my rabbit any discomfort. I also have a grass pad mat in there for her to lay on just in case!

To be honest...I haven't taken the base apart. The water well and parts are plastic. As far as cleaning goes...there are several areas that you will need qtips to get to...if you are going to put EOs in it...I wouldn't suggest...did you see picture of build up?

I have mine in the garage so I have not disassemled it. If you are buying one, be sure all of the parts are in the box and they have included the correct parts. Eventually, I received everything I needed without much of a hassle. I have taken the top carrier off to use as a carrier to take my cat into the vet. You have to be careful to have the top rod connectors facing up. You'll see that it's a DUH reminder when you use it as a carrier.
