I have just started my own rat breeding colony. I only have two little baby rats right now and I was woundering how to get ride of the pee smell in the room. Some sites say wood pellets, and others say vinigar. I was wanting to know what would be safe with little baby rats.

ive been told the wood as well and to use vanilla extract in the water. just a few drops per 8 oz and it makes the smell much less. well at least with mice that is.. for the best way to fix ur problem go to african soft fur rats. they almost dont smell at all.
