We have 2 fat guinea pigs and we change the cage every 3-4 days.
Even then, the cage tend to smell after 2-3 days.
As any1 use baby powder as a way to get rid of the smell ?
How will the pigs react to it ?

I nearly had a psychic girlfriend but she left before we met.

Oh I wish I really could
Enjoy the warming sun
Enjoy a warm someone
And end the need to hide
Away alone inside

I would use hot water with a mixture of bicarbonate of soda and a drop of
disinfectant.

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER use baby powder in a Guinea pig cage or any other
type of pet! It can cause them harm in the form of respitory problems
or worse. Here's what I recommend. Pet stores have cleaners and
other things that you can sprinkle in the bottom of their cage that
will clean or absorb odor. Look into products that help with ferret
odor. What type of bedding are you using? The best type, and safest
type, of bedding you can use is a paper based bedding. Woodchips of
any kind, unless they are KILN DRIED have harmful vapors. Aspen is ok
as well. Stuff like Carefresh are best. Carefresh is good and
controls odor but is expensive.

My advice:

Clean their cage every 2-3 days instead of 3-4 days, or just imagine your
guinea pigs were as big as you are, and their cage was one of the rooms in your
house. Now think about how many days you would be willing to live in a room
that size with your own waste and then clean the cage that often.
