: I just bought a used cage for my little buddies and its huge but there is rust on it and the paint is gone in places. If you know can you please tell me what is a good safe paint that i can put on it. And what is a good thing to clean the cage up so it can be sterile and nice looking for my little girls.

: thanks for any help!!!!

The rust itself can be harmful to gliders and most solvents that you would use to remove rust would also leave a residue that would be harmful to them. My best advice is that you go to a hardware store and ask them about possible solvents to remove rust but that are safe to animals, the same for paints or protective coatings.
