I've had my blood for a little over a year now and never has she been this much of a hassle. It seems like every other day I come home she has pissed in her tank. This wouldn't be such a problem except for the fact that she stinks up the entire house. It's disgusting to smell that when you first walk in the door. It's not like she's even close to the door shes in a bedroom upstairs. The stank moves throughout the entire house. I don't know what's wrong. I know she's has an RI which I need to take care but I don't think that is causing the excessive urine. I'm getting tired of coming home for lunch, cleaning out her tank and putting her in the tub so she can get some of the smell off. I normally let her soak for about an hour. Most of the time she pisses in her hide/humidity box. I use a material similar to astro turf but not as abrasive for her substrate. In her humidity box I use damp paper towels. She's a year and a few months old, 4 foot long, and 14 lbs.. Let me know if you've experienced similar circumstances or any suggestions you may have to correct this problem. Please don't tell me this is normal becuase if it is I may need to sell her and I really don't want to do that. I can't even explain how bad her urine smells. Any help would be appreciated.

(I already searched the last 5 months worth of threads and found nothing on this subject so I hope it's not normal and an easy fix)

Thanks, Brad

normal?? yes and no...
you'll notice bloods release fluids a lot more often then feces.
every day i have to go through atleast 4 cages because of this.
Perhaps its so frequent because it takes in a lot of fluids??
Try just rinsing her off and see if that lessens it.
