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.

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)

Mice are incontinent arent they?so im not surprised they smell,never had any probs with our hamster being pongy.

nope no probs here with my female mice its the male that pong really never known female mice to pong so much i got 2 in together was 3 but one got babys now , the two female dont pong that much i clean them all out every week , check out my pics please ,,,...

Are you sure they are females?

Females dont really smell that bad unless in a large group, i keep groups of 6-8 females and they dont smell half as bad as my group of 4 males.
