So I have obtained another hammy. (convinced my boyfriend lol) She went into heat a few days ago and OMG did she stink. My other Syrian doesn't smell anything like this when she goes into heat. I currently use Carefresh paper bedding and it controls the odor with my non stinking hammy but it doesn't seem to be working for the new one. I mean my whole house stinks. Is there a better bedding for controlling this odor? I heard that aspen works better than paper bedding. If this is the case, what brand should I buy? Also, Is there a safe spray I can use as well?
