I got my GP cage like last month on Feb 17 I believe and their cage was perfectly fine. Changed their fleece I want to say every 4 days along with towels and I even started putting baking soda down in the corners cause because it seems that's where they are choosing to pee but it didn't get bad till like a week ago. I don't know if I'm hyper aware but their cage is starting to think to the point I want to buy 7 pieces for daily changing.
It's not a smell that takes up my room at all. Like if you walk in and stuff you don't smell them but as soon as you get to their cage...yikes. It's not a bad smell but it's smell that is starting to annoy me because it won't go away. I'm super "anal" about these things which is why I don't spot clean. Until recently I want to say I fully cleaned their cage out 3x a day. Morning, Evening and Night. Now I usually either do it the Morning when I wake up or before I go to sleep. Maybe I need to go back to my original schedule?
I feed them hay and pellets so there's that and their veggie diet is usually romaine lettuce, occasionally spinach, and cucumbers so usually romaine lettuce and cucumbers.
I literally had put in some new fleece because the other was making me upset then the very next morning this one smells gross too. Their cage is circulated and I leave my window open for this very reason too. I was starting to think maybe it was the midwest cage bottom but it doesn't stink when I smell it.
Should I try vinegar with washes? Is the smell building up even though I wash their fleeces once a week? Help!
The smell even sunk into their fur so I gave them bath then the next day it popped back up along with the fleece!
