Smelly rescue

[jgolden4958]

We rescued a girl (the vet puts her around 4 years old) and the guy obviously never cleaned her cage so she's got this smell to her and I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to how to get it to go away. I've been giving her baths daily because she was extremely dehydrated and it won't go away.

I suggest getting a small steam cleaner (I got mine for ~$40 at big lots) to thoroughly clean everything in the tank. I used a little bit of Dr. Bronner's baby mild soap (unscented castile soap) in the bath for my rescue for the first week or so and it helped a lot.

I rescued a female not long ago and she had a horrible odor to her. After using the Dr. Bronner's, I could tolerate holding her. You only need 2-3 drops in the bath water.
