Stinky new Enclosure, any suggestions?

[jkeeney1]

I just finished a new enclosure for my two baby beardies. It is very large about 4x3x2, well ventilated, sliding glass doors, cement structures to climb on, and no sand (using paper towels until older). The problem is that it is so large that the only place i have space for it is in my living room where we spent most of our time. It stinks really bad and i assume this is because of the good ventilation on the sides of the cage, but i need a remedy to make it stink less. Has anybody else had a similar problem? are there any other solutions other than lots of febreeze and outlet air fresheners? any advice would be helpful. Thanks.

Have you gotten your beardie tested for parasites? That makes their poop stink read bad.

No i have not, i do not believe i have the funds for this. its only when they eat the crickets though. when they eat their greens, their poop is not as smelly.

Weird.
I did a mail in fecal with Cheryl http://www.beardeddragon.co/index.php?route=information/information&information_id=11 Mailing it to her is way way way cheaper than taking them to the vet. Parasites can make poo really smelly... There could be a chance that the crickets are carrying it.
