I have just moved my mice into the conservatory since winter is upon us! I have put old sheets towels etc at the windows to keep the glare out and to hopefully stop drafts. The only problem is that we also use this as our dinning room, it is a very large conservatory! and the smell of mice is abit over powering to say the least, now I clean them out regularly and when they need it, apart from having to clean them out everyday is there anyway I can mask the smell? I love smelly candles & oils, do you think some of these types of things would be alright to put in the same room as the mice. At the moment I can have the door open all day as the weather is not too cold but it will be to cold soon and I need another way of getting rid of such a smell! I use shavings and find these to be the best, I also use hay as bedding and sometimes shredded paper, I find these to be fine for a good couple of days before I think I should change it.
Now I'm thinking 'oh my house smelt like this'! now at least its contained in one room!
Any ideas on good smelly things would be much appreciated

I can't keep them outside as we only have a small yard :roll: Its taken up with a shed for all the kids outside toys & the very large conservatory. I don't really mind the smell its the rest off them :roll: My daughter loves the mice but she says that the smell makes her feel sick when she walks into the room :roll: My Mum who doesnt live with us comes over 'oh those mice do smell dont they?' I think 'you've done the animal thing mum you should know all animals smell!' she worked with horses breed dogs etc etc but now she has none so notices every little smell and doesn't mind telling me about it, its soooo annoying! So now when people come round I'm very aware of the smell the mice give off, pah.
