What bedding are you using? It probably isn't absorbing the smell well enough. Usually comes from urine. Are the ledges/pans plastic or metal? If you have pics of the cage that would help, then we can suggest some bits and bots to reduce odor!
My rats love flower petals mixed in with their bedding and gives it a nice aroma, lavender is one of their favorites. I also live in a dorm with three other girls that arent used to the distinct rat scent so I put them on a product called Bi-odor. You can find it in any pet store, all you do is put a few drops of it in their drinking water and it actually reduces the smell of their droppings and their body odor.
