Smelly RATS... Any tips?

Good Day all...

Got a RAT question

2 weeks ago I decided to start a breeding colony... 4 females and a single male... Everything is fine, they have been doing their business but here is my problem... THE SMELL!!!!

Maybe I have a sensitive sense of smell...

Ive tried carefresh as a substrate and that did nothing... to me after 4 days the stuff smelled like urine soaked paper... uggg...

So today Ive switched over to aspen...
Will see how this goes....

BTW, They are in a large multi level cage, 4 to be exact.

Ive read some stuff on the net about putting a bit of vinegar in their water.... do you guys have any tricks? Any food maybe that helps keep the smell down?

I just cant stand the smell of them after 4 days... Uggg...
SO How do you guys control the smell?
