The Smell We Don't Want To Talk About

Daily cage cleaning is important to keep your pigs from taking over your home. Here are some easy and inexpensive things that can be done to keep your neighbors from complaining about 'that smell'.

1. CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN! A daily deep cleaning may be necessary to eliminate the stench of multiple piglets. An odor elimination spray always needs to soak at the bottom of the cage to actually remove potty and caked on bedding but after 10 minutes can be removed with paper towels.

2. Air Fresheners! "Pet safe" perfume sprays are NEVER to be put in your small animal cage. That is dangerous for so many reasons. The most obvious reason is that fact that is it approved to use AROUND cats and dogs. If you used it in a small animal cage they would be unable to get away from the chemicals that aren't necessarily approved for them to even be around let alone breathe for an extended period of time

There are actually pet safe hanging air fresheners that are absolutely fine to attach right to the outside of your pet's cage as long as your animal cannot reach it. Below is a highly effective small animal order eliminator called Funky Friends in a banana scent. Personally, I've found this an amazing tool at keeping the daily guinea pig smell at bay until I get the time that evening to clean the cage. I purchased mine at Petco for around $3.
