I use newspaper or paper towels on the grates , but I clean it daily. The first couple of months I cleaned it twice a day as she spent more time on the bottom of the cage playing and learning to climb perches and the cage, so I had her food and perches much lower. The best way to stop them from eating poop is to nab that poop as soon as possible. My tiel used to eat her poop when she was really young, but she ate very healthy, so I knew it was because she was just curious. So I was more vigiliant about grabbing that poop as soon as it dropped while she was outside of the cage. Now she doesnt eat it at all, she isn't curious about it no more.
