Hi guys,
I currently have 15 rats in my mums living room, and needless to say it smells very ratty come the end of the week before I clean them out!
Can anyone suggest ways of neutralising the odour a little? I've heard non-scented candles get rid of some urine fumes. I'm not too keen on air-fresheners or the like, because a couple of my lovelies have very tempermental chests and the smallest things set them off.
I currently have them on a carefresh/wood pellet mix for bedding (mostly carefresh, and the wood pellets are meant to be good at getting rid of the smells) and clean them out weekly. I would clean them all out more often, but needless to say, having 15 rats in 11 seperate cages will cost a bit to clean out twice a week and take hours to do! (It takes me between 2 or 3 hours anyway at the weekends!) Lol.
Just looking for sugestions, if it can't be helped, dearest mother will just have to lump in
