That's a great idea! Its only a little smell, and only the day before cleaning day, but I don't want to clean every 6 day; too confusing. I may eventually get a purifier. Do they use much energy?

Hey, just wanted to say that JillMarie sent me some lemongrass as a free sample, and it works GREAT. I just sprinkle it around the bottom of the cage (I put it outside the actual cage, kinda underneath it but she puts it right in the drop pan) and it REALLY neutralizes the odor on the day before cleaning day! I did it twice that day, as it did wear off. It smells so fresh and lemony! I wanted to recommend it! (she also included a little glider cookie which was very healthy for them and they LOVED! Thank you!)

Isn't vinager hard on the liver? I would be really catious before using it.

Pine has resins that can be really bad for any small animals lungs and skin. I used to use a special dried pine was resin free for the rabbit's litter boxes but I wouldn't suggest using it for suggies and if you get the stuff that's safe it's kinda expensive. Why risk it with so many alternatives.

Yes, pine shavings are bad for gliders. I always used aspen shavings or newspaper shavings for my hedgehog and she surpassed her life expectancy by three years!

I use cage liners by Jana (gr8pots). It's amazing how well they absorb and hide odor. When I first got them, I shook them out each morning, but didn't wash them for two weeks. I was amazed that after than long, I could put my nose right up to it and still not smell anything! Prior to that, I had been using fleece. I love Jana's tray liners!
