Ok I cleaned out the babies box yesterday and it already stinks with just straw. Mama uses her litter box. what can i put in the babies nest box to keep it fresh longer then a day.It is big 14 x18 with 2 babies.

I wish I could help - but by now I would have removed the nestbox and babies are in the cage with mama....

I leave the nest box in until 4 weeks. Then I take it out, and give them an igloo to have. then at 6 weeks I take out the igloo.

In the nest box, put bedding or something in the bottom.
I use the same thing as I put in the litter boxes and it helps alot ^_^
