is there any other way to stop the smell?

thanks:D

Answer 1

I would make sure you clean it out with soap and water. Then i would check at your local pet store to see if they have a spray to de-smell it.  

Answer 2

Go out and get a few of the FRIDGE IT odor absorbers made for fridge odors and things.  Little purple cube made of activated carbon.  Totally fragrance free and works fantastic for animal cages.  I use on hamster cage and just hang from top so they don't mess with it.  Just seems to get rid of all the odor without covering them up like other products.

Can get it at some stores and also on line - www.innofresh.com by asking for order form.

Answer 3

I don't know where they sell them but you can get wood shavings that smell nice.

Apart form them you can spray the bottom of the cage with nice smelling cleaner for animals when you clean them out.

Answer 4

get natures miracle spray to take out the smell, use it every time you clean.

Answer 5

Your cage may be too small and /or you are not using the right bedding, and/or not feeding the right diet.

Answer 6

I used to have the same problem.I used this thing called"Fresh Results" you spray it in the bottom of a clean cage.You can get it at Pet Super market or Walmart.

Answer 7

guinea pigs eat shavings. do not buy scented shavings!

wash the cage with antibacterial soap and water. really scrub it.

wash the guinea pigs too but not their heads because of the soap. i used dial handsoap it never hurt them.

use recycled egg carton bedding, its a grey papery stuff.

its the safest bedding. it smells like paper.

and you still needd to clean it twice a week.
