Cage Smell - 01/04/18 08:10 PM
I feel horrible for continuing to come back to this so I’m sorry I’m advance!!!
My cage has a rather sweet smell. I think It is urine mixed with the diet they have (BML) and as much as I scrub those bars with vinegar water and a scrubby residue remind. It’s something I’m coming to terms with living with. I can always try to scrub the wheel or the branches but when I smell them or the blankets there isn’t any there. It seems to be the cage. I also have a shower curtain around the cage to keep the gross stuff from flying onto my walls.
It seems that this covering may be keeping in the smell instead of letting the cage breathe, if that makes sense? Like a cover holding on smell? Even when I clean it it’s better a few days then starts again. Has anyone had bettter luck with a fabric sheet or fleece option? Anyone tried both? Just trying to cut down the smell as much as possible even accepting some will be there (all my animals live in my room, hedgie, ferret and gliders so smell is a big thing for my room!)
I know I’ve posted a lot about smell just wanted opinions on what works best for people!
Thanks!
