I have two Gliders (1M & 1F). I have two Oak branches in their cage that catch urine. When I clean the cage, bedding etc. the cage still smells. I am VERY certain it is the wood holding in the urine smell. What can I do about it? I have some Zep Odorstroyer that works biologically on urine odors but is it safe?
thanks

Any wood in the cage (unless shellaced with several coats) is going to soak up urine. Since gliders tend to chew on branches, I would be very hesitant to use anything on them. Best bet would be to just replace the old branches with new ones <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumb.gif" alt="" />

Besides for just plain old replacing them...I use dilluted vinegar water in the bathtub and just soak the branches in there for about an hour and bake them or let them air dry and pop them back in the cage in time for the buggers to come out and play. The vinegar disinfects as well as neutralizes the urine odor. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Hope that helped!
