Hello, Here are a few things that have helped us with ferret odor: - Keep ears clean, it's amazing how much stink dirty ears emit!! - Wash bedding, toys - Air purifier - Plug-ins - I have a deodorizer spray called "Natural Magic" it is non scented and breaks down the sulfur bonds that causes odors. I am always careful to never spray directly on ferts or around food/water ect... - Linoleum in the cage, easy to wipe down and clean. - Scoop daily and clean litter pans frequently - I use Yesterdays News (the cat kind, same as the kind for ferts, but less expensive) mixed with a little All Pine, but be careful some ferts are sensitive to pine. - Natures Miracle spray cleaner, also the powder that you mix with the litter. (has natural enzymes that break down the poopies and pee) - Don't bathe ferts too much. - No Marshalls food, too fishy, (seemed to make my ferts poppies stinkier) I like inscence and candles, but not in close contact with the ferrets, too dangerous. Personally, I think the ferts smell good!! It's the litter and the bedding which can get rank. Hope this helps, suzi and the 7 little poop factories. [Posted in FML issue 4065]
