Hi! I have 2 males that are about 2 1/2 years old. Lately (past month or
so) their cage has been getting extremely smelly very quickly. I used to be
able to spot clean daily and thoroughly clean every 6 days, but lately there's
been an awful smell by the 3rd day. I usually use aspen, changed to
Carefresh (didn't help - even shorter "smell time" then the aspen) and back to
aspen. I line the bottom of the cage with paper towel prior to the
aspen/carefresh. The towels are extremely wet when I change them. I'm wondering 2 things
and would like some feedback. 1) Piggies seem fine - playing, talking,
eating up a storm. Any reason for health concern for the smell? 2) Has anyone
ever put cat litter under the paper towel/aspen to absorb smell? I read it
in a Guinea Pig book, but have never noticed it mentioned on the gpdd site.
Thanks so much for your info!
Donna, Jazzy & Skwirt
