How do i stop a hamster cage from smelling?

Question

I really want a hamster but i'm not aloud to have one because their cages smell really bad. So if you have a solution to my problem please reply!

Answer 1

Well you have to clean the cages once a week. Then spot clean(pick up the little pieces of p**p). If it stinks even after you've already cleaned it that week start cleaning it twice a week you shouldn't have to clean it more than that.

When you clean it

1.dump out food set aside

2.do same with water bottle

3.dump bedding

4.wash with water or mix half water and half vinegar then wash with that

5.replace bedding,food,and watter

five easy steps to a cleaner cage!

Answer 2

Their cages do not smell that bad! All you do is clean their cage about once a week, and cage the bedding and such. If you're responsible enough, it'll be ok.  

Answer 3

Clean it often, take out a handful or two of dirty litter each day and replace it with fresh bedding and then every 4-7 days (depending on how many hamsters you have) clean it out completely with a very mild dish washing liquid diluted in hot water, then rinse thoroughly and dry.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Simple-you have to clean it more often. If you keep it clean, it will not smell. Trust me. I've had 30 hamsters at one time.

Answer 6

There is a chlorophyll litter that you can purchase.

Answer 7

Use Carefresh bedding instead of wood shavings. It's much more absorbent. Also, keep in mind that the more often you clean out the cage, the less it will smell. Use a wire cage instead of an aquarium tank because it will provide better ventilation, but make sure the cage floor isn't made of wire, because it can really hurt their feet. You can also put the cage in a room with an air purifier and light scented candles in the room as long as you don't leave the candles lit while you are away.
