Ok one...any suggestions for light urine oder? I have a farily large cage with two female rats. I wipe the shelves down daily and spot clean the corners of the cage where they poop...and they use the litter pan to urinate so I clean that out daily as well. With that...I get a wiff of occasionaly smell...not total urine...just stink. I use carefresh bedding in the bottom. Any suggestions and what else to do? Its not a horrible smell and not constant...just when I walk by close to the cage I get a wiff of it once in a while.
Second...I rat proofed my room...so I thought. I let the girls out for at least an hour each night to run loose in my bedroom and play and do what they want. Have corners all blocked etc. Well..I have a chest at the end of my bed...that has a special quilt on it my mother had made...and I also have a home made quilt on my bed I use as a blanket from my mom. Well they have somehow managed to get in between the space and chew large holes in these quilts. I was devistated. :cry3: Both quilts mean alot to me. Of course you cant get angry at the little gals, it is only their nature...and I didn't think they would get between there and do so. Damage is alraedy done...but no matter what blanket I put there...it will happen again. Any suggestions on a way to make them not chew the blankets? I mean I can try and put something there so they dont get in there, but almost impossible...its an in between space they can wiggle up in when I am not looking. I supervise them while they are out...but we all know how quick they are...and if I say NO to them or pull them off something they aer doing wrong...the RUN back to it as fast as they can as if laughing at me saying haha you can't make me. So any suggestions to make them not CHEW my blankets. My quilts are pretty much ruint.
Thanks Paula
