Males do smell more than females, they need more ventilation if the smell is
building up so quickly - you haven't got them in a glass aquarium have you?
If so, you will need a tightly fitting mesh lid to allow for free air
movement.......also you would be advised to get rid of any wooden toys they
may have as they hold the smell in longer - use plastic and you can also use
cat litter (the dried clay type - it's looks like grit) which will
de-odorise their urine.....just put a sprinkle of it in each corner, but a
word of warning - it sets quite hard once it's been peed on a few times!
