yeah i forgot we had this forum, my mouse doesn't scroll this far down too often.
anyway... yeah i really just got them to get some free pinkies and fuzzies. once my carpet gets big enough for adult mice i'm going to feed them off... mice suck!
i'll try the vanilla thing. they have a well ventilated cage and i change the bedding once every 5 days or so... i'm glad it's not just me though.
are rats the same way? i've never had rats either... and i don't recall gerbils or hamsters smelling like this back when i used have them. maybe they did and the cedar bedding covered the smell.
