Help! They want the smell or ferrets gone NOW!

This isn't natural, but it really helped me! I bought those Renuzit cone shaped air fresheners, the ones you just pull up and set them out. I specifically bought the Odor one and it has REALLY helped take away the poop/litter/food smell, I put it next to the cage, but out of reach of the ferrets. Its kinda gel-like, so if the ferrets eat it, it might melt but I think could cause serious damage! So of course be careful! I also recommend the Raspberry flavor, smells amazing in my kitchen now!

I remember reading that these gel fresheners can cause allergies to ferrets here is what it said in the allergies and eye infections section.

Sprays, rug powders, and gel-type air fresheners can cause ferret eyes to tear as well. Make sure to use odor neutralizers, not coverups, and avoid carpet powders altogether.

Well of course, you should always be aware of what you are using and make sure it doesn't badly affect the ferrets. However I've had these out 1 week and haven't noticed any problems with my ferrets. I will continue to watch them closely, as I always do for signs of change, but I don't think it has bothered them. I do not have the cones on top of their cage or right next to it, I just have it in the same room, within a few feet. I believe the one I bought for Odors, isn't a coverup, but a neutralizer. This is what I bought, its by their cage: www.reliablepaper.com/Renuzit_Super_Odor_Killer_Air_Freshener_p/dia03659.htm

Its working really well and I am happy with it.

I just saw your new siggy Chris, I like it.

I haven't noticed any issues, no sneezing or anything. They act complately normal. I am also watching for any signs. But so far everything is great.
