My First Rack

[Lolo76]

Personally I don't know why people are always talking about the "bad smell" from breeding mice. As long as you keep things clean it won't smell. I use shredded newspapers and aspen mixed together as the bedding, and it absorbs urine great and the aspen I use really covers up the smell.

Part of the problem for me was my allergies, since I can only use paper or Carefresh as bedding - no aspen or anything else wood-based. But despite weekly scrubbings and a glass tank, I still found the smell to be intrusive... maybe it's just me, but even a small amount of rodent stench is too much.
