Hello!
I've been considering adopting a third guinea pig from my local shelter, but my mom said no. After asking why and such, it's because of smell. She says that it smells too much just with two pigs. So, she's giving me a chance to sort of "prove" myself, to see if I can handle having three pigs, and control the smell.
Are there any tips you have for reducing smell, or making it nonexistent?
I just switched to only fleece with no litter box, hoping that I could change the fleece more often to reduce the smell. I have 3 layers of towels underneath the fleece, and the fleece is double layered (it comes doubled up, so I just sewed it so it's doubled). I'm also going to try to clean and vacuum my room more often. My mom really doesn't like the smell of pee and hay mixed. So, I have a hay rack now, and it helps so that most the hay isn't peed on. Thanks for any tips!
