  1. Have you considered cleaning the cage daily?  Guinea pigs are not litter box trained, so their bedding becomes soiled with urine and f***s daily.  Three of them can create quite an odor with the urine giving out an ammonia smell.

    When you've removed the bedding and settled your piggies elsewhere temporarily, take the cage outside and give it a good washing with soap and water.  Do NOT use a disinfectant.  Their lingering odors can make small animals sick.  The same goes for the popular air fresheners that work by electricity.  If you read the label, they warn not to use them near small children.  Since piggies are even smaller...well, you get the idea.  Sick piggies!  Anyway, back to the cage.  Try to let it air dry in the sun.

    The safest thing to add to the bedding is baking soda.  It will absorb some of odor.  See if there's some kind of bedding that absorbs the urine, like clumping cat litter does.  Then you can scoop some of the bedding and not have to change it every  day.  Leave a window open a bit during warm weather to let in fresh air.  Just be sure the kiddies aren't in a draft.
