Tonight I moved the rats into my bedroom. They seem to be doing just fine, they're not scared or anything, and they enjoyed their new play set-up. The thing is I had a problem with odor in the other bedroom, and I'm looking for some suggestions as to what I can do to keep them from getting smelly.
My routine right now is every evening I sweep off their levels with a dustpan to remove any hair, dirt, poo, etc, then I go over that with a baby-wipe to wash off the pee. It gets dirty overnight though. As for the bottom pan, I do the same thing, wiping that off every night.
So I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions that I could do to keep the levels clean. I wondered if baby-wipes were a good option (they're unscented as well as alcohol-free.), or if I should go with something else, like clorox wipes?
I also wondered what I could have in my room in the way of scents, to keep the air fresh. As soon as I'm able, I'm going to be opening the windows, but I want something to use in the meantime. Is something like febreeze okay? Or is there any sort of scented candle or the like that would be good?
