Who ever recommended dog food gave you terrible advice. Higher levels of protein is thought to lead to higher rates of cancer. Me and a friend got our breeding stock from the same source. He feed his mostly dog and cat food while I fed mine a scrap diet supplemented with seeds. He had many rodents with cancer and tumors and their coats were disgusting and oily. I had maybe one with cancer and I was producing about 50 a week.

will they always stink? i like to keep things very clean, so the cage would always be clean. i also trained my hamsters to go to the bathroom in a "litter box" so i might be able to do that with mice. is it just the urine and fecal matter, because that i could work with.
& what was in the 'scrap diet' you fed them?
