Default Re: re-homed hamster smells horrible

If she's not diabetic then you would barely be able to small pee after two days, I have Chinese hams that like to pee in the house & but even in the house it doesn't smell that much for a while.
I would imagine she's probably been scent marking a lot, if it is that then it should begin to diminish as she settles in & has less need to scent mark.
I wouldn't be tempted to clean too much for a while as that would probably make her even more nervous & just add to the problem.
I haven't tried it but apparently putting a bowl of bicarb in the room can absorb the smell so you could try that while you wait for her to settle.
