The answer is not to clean your cage so much. Let your male mark his territory and the smell will only be there a few days to you. He will smell his own scent a feel more assured. The more you clean the cage or wash pouches etc. the more he will mark and the more smell you will get. I clean my cage or spot clean every day you know pick up food feces etc. and clean it really well every 3 to 4 weeks. I am not an unsanitary person I just found that the less I clean the less they smell. Oh and Twinkle belle email me please.


: Well I have probed and probed on all of the old files and I still have scent questions. WHAT DO I DO??? I do not mind so much the smell, but when I stay with anyone and bring them there is an issue about the scent. And also I do not like the fact that when others walk into my room they think I am unsanitary and need to change the cage. Also...the SG fan-club here at home is rapidly dissapating as no one wants to hold smelly gliders. My male is just balding so I am assuming that he is beginning to "scent" his area and all, but this does not stop the fact that they really do smell, etc. What can I do? Kitty Litter? Wood chips on the bottom of their cage? what?what?what?
: thanks!!!!
