I clean the cages regularly. And they don't STINK. They stink to me because I'm pregnant and already walk around with vics under my nose at work, because i have super sonic smelling right now... How do I fix the oders in my home that only I can smell?

try using baking soda, it is not harmful and really absorbs the oder. for the hamster cage, they sell a tiny little hamster potty that comes with its on litter, we have a hamster and he uses it, so it makes dailey cleanup very easy.

Try dumping the old litter and bedding out and putting new bedding and litter in. If you clean your cat box once a day or even once every two days depending on how many cats you have and how many boxes you have it should not smell. Also clean your hamster cage out twice a month.

You really shouldn't even be around cat litter while you are pregnant that is very harmful to you and the baby! My husband had to clean the cat litter the whole time I was pregnant and while I was breastfeeding also. If possible please have someone else clean and scoop your cat litter for you. Talk to your obgyn about this, they will tell you why it is so harmful to you while pregnant, thats how I found out!!

It's just a pregnant thing, I'm still cleaning my house every other day because a smell or a speck of dust will drive me into a cleaning frenzy. Hopefully, it will pass. Beyond that, just keep spraying the air freshener.

The way I took care of this problem is by having my boyfriend do it. You shouldn't be handling feces from your pets anyways while you are pregnant. Some people do it and they are just fine, but I wouldn't and don't take the risk. good luck. I know exactly what you mean by smells only you can smell. It gets kind of annoying. =) Hang in there, it'll get better!

i think you should worry more about the possible birth defects of your baby if you handle the litter. have someone else change it for you. also move the litter box to an area where you smell it less if the smell makes you woozy

Try using lemon scented air freshners or plug-ins around the box and cage. Lemon is a good cover-up and it helps eleviate nausea.

I hope that you're not changing the littler box, especially if your cat goes outside, that is very dangerous if you're pregnant. You need to contact your OBGYN to see if just being around it could be harmful. Gross.
