Ok, I have my rat set-up in a temporary cage untill I have the money to buy her a condo (3 story rat paradise). The problem is, that the cage has recently started to stink. My guesse is that the urine got deep into the wood. I have thoroughly cleaned her temp. cage but the smell wont go away. It is stinkin up my whole room. Any suggestions on how to get the stench out of the wood?

There are no 'household' products that will take care of this problem; once the oil born smell of urine gets into the wood. The only way to remove it; is to apply a live enzyme that actually eats the source of the odor.
This is a great link Fred. Thanks! I bookmarked this one.
If one wants to be able to avoid shipping and waiting...they can always go to a large, well stocked petstore and check the puppy and kitten isles. They also have enzymatic cleaners for this purpose.
Hope this helps.
Alright, thanks guys.
I will just have to wait untill I get the new cage. Which should be soon.
Another question, the smell doesnt get absorbed by the cages that the pet stores sell does it?
Im not sure what they are made of, but definitly not wood.
