I think I figured a way to stop the smell of mice...
So I've been breeding mice, even though i don't have to due to only having two snakes, but I wanted to do it just for fun.
So the smell has been getting annoying for me, and it was to the point to stop the breeding altogether, when I came to try an experiment.
Coffee...Yup Coffee
I had placed some old coffee beans on a sheet of paper in which I placed that directly on the tank of where the mice are.
And surprisingly for two days, I have not smelled the mice. It's like a miracle. I just hope it can at least for a week.
I got the idea from perfume, You know how when you shop for perfume they have a little cup with coffee beans, to neutralize your nose from scents...Well I thought to myself, hey maybe it could do the same for mice...
And so far so good. I hope one of you will try this and confirm if this works for you too...
But its only two days, I'll keep you guys posted
Please note, this does not work for the people who dislike the smell of coffee...

I cut out dog food from mine's diet because I heard it adds to the odor and that is definately true. They smell so much less on just lab block. I've tried the vanilla in the water and didn't notice much change though.

ALso Dog food will cause kidney failure in rodents due to the Meat in the food.
I use Pine pellets and i never smell my mice till the day of cleaning. I have 300+ mice/rats.
