One opinion (from Ruth Grove) is that this is due to excess vitamins. The most common suggestion is to cut down the amount given until the smell fades, then add it until they smell a little then remove a little more. The idea is that they excrete the extra causing the smell. From your post it would suggest you give the vitamins in the leadbetters- right? If so give them a little less as above or dilute teh leadbetters down with some with no vitamins. If you give the vitamins in other ways just do the removal trick.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes.
: Ok - I finally made up a batch of leadbeaters for my girls. They seem to really love the stuff - although between the two of them they don't finish one ice cube thingie. (It doesn't freeze very solidly, does it...)

: Anyhow - since I started feeding leadbeaters - the girls STINK!!!!! Their urine stinks, their cage stinks, their little bodies stink, the whole thing STINKS!

: So, what do I do? Any idea which ingredient it might be? Maybe the baby cereal? That's really the only thing in there that's different - I feed them baked chicken, scrambled eggs, honey, fruit juice, so it's almost gotta be either the wheat germ or the baby cereal. Meanwhile, my house REEKS!

: Who has tried that new DeFreze or whatever it's called. I know you were all talking about de-stinking your cages awhile ago - did anybody try that stuff? Did it work? How are your gliders - did it bother them? I took their cage outside and scrubbed and scrubbed and it still smells awful. Christmas is coming, along with houseguests - I can't banish the girls to the garage - but I also can't have them stinking up the place!

: HINTS??????

: Thanks!
