Maybe it's just me or maybe it's just that I have 4 mice (I don't think that's it, reason in a bit) but mine don't smell bad.
I read/heard mice smell worse than rats but that's not been the case for me. A few months back (maybe as much as a year) I had 3 rats & they stank bad, I now have 4 mice & very little smell. I've had them about 2 weeks, full tank clean out once a week & very little smell. I can smell them if I put my nose to the screen top or open it & lower my face down & really sniff ... and then it's just a mousey smell. No where near the stink the rats were.
