smelly female mice

hi

we went and bought 3 female mice last week and they are incredibly smelly. i used to keep mice when i was at school a few years back and never remember them smelling anywhere near as bad as this. i am having to clean them out every evening as towards the end of the day the smell of urine is so bad. they hava rotostak cage with a tunnel leading to a carry box which houses all their food and drink and they also have a ladder leading up to another room, so they have plenty of space. i am currently using the shredded j cloth pet bedding (apologies for description, cant remember the name!). is there anything else i can do or use to disguise the smell it really is unbearable at the end of the day

have you tried shredded paper?
if you have a shredder at home then you have free bedding, just be careful of the ink, altho my gerbls never came to any harm.

Re: smelly female mice

You should try having male mice, now that is smelly!

All I can think of is to try different bedding and see which reduces the smell the most! Other than that, put them in the shed! (JOKE)
