hello im a bit of a eco friendly warrior so i dont use shop brought cleaners to clean out my pets but while my guinea pigs and degus dont smell my gerbils are stinking. any ideas what i can use i currently use a 50% vinegar and 50% water soultion then rinse but its not clearing any odour if im honest i think its getting worse like a gerbil wee and vinegar combo. any ideas would be great

Mmmm what about bi carb? That is good for cleaning x

I find a paste of bicarb of soda & lemon juice helps for smells

do you know i considered bi carb but i was unsure if it would hurt the gerbils if they say there was any small residue and they licked it off

If rinsed off well it shouldn't be a problem

so do i mix the two together and smear around the tank or sprinkle the bicard and drip some lemon juice in there too? also how long do you leave it on?

I make it to tooth paste consistency in a small pot or bowl & then spread it on & leave it a few minutes before washing as normal

cool thank you i shall try that in all house . my gerbils housing is easy to take to the bathroom to rinse but my degus housing is huge and i cannot take to bathroom how would you suggest rinsing off in their house?
