I have read that vivs are supposed to be cleaned out every 4 weeks mine is due its first clean this weekend, however he had his first feed last week and i have not seen him at all this week, I know he has been moving between hides but it took so long to get him to feed just wondered if cleaning it all out would stress him out a little as obviously I will have to take him out, while I do this.

Any suggestions ?

Iwould put him in a dark tub with a hide in then clean the viv and just wait a few days until the next feed.
