  • There isn't much you can do. A million years to supplement my income while in college I use to raise mice and sell them to pet stores (snake food). The smell was horrific. Maybe try keeping baking soda near it's cage.

  • That's so funny. I didn't know mice smelled.
    On a side note- rats and tarantulas do not have a smell :)

  • I had mice when I was a teen and never had smell issues. You have to keep their "bedding" clean... they just pee & crap everywhere.

  • i always ended up feed my reptiles & cats the family pet mice because i didnt like them. i am the oldest, so i was able to talk the littler ones into doing it themselves, then into getting a fish, or anything but mice or gerbils...
