Mouse cages

Mon Jan 12, 2004 5:51 am

I was wondering what most of you guys use for your mouse cages, and if you wouldn't mind posting some pix.
And this has nothing to do with the topic, but when I had 2 male mice in a 55 gal. acrylic aquarium they always smelled, no matter if I cleaned their cage every few days. Was this normal? Do females tend to smell less than males?

I have mine in a 15 gallon aquarium with some trail tubes going up out of the lid to a sky tower. I rotate toys in the cage to keep it interesting. I have a wire cage I will eventually attach to it if the wild baby ever gets fat enough to prevent her from squeezing through the bars.

Yes, the males stink much more than the females, as I'm just discovering. I'm going to have my male neutered so he can go back with the females, which should also help the smell issue.
