My Sugar Glider Has An Odor?

First off, I wouldn't use Elimina or PureAyre, both of those could be potentially hazardous to your gliders health. How old is your male? If he's younger then yes, he will scent a lot. If that's the case, this only goes on for a couple months and then the smell goes aways. Believe me, I've been there, lol. Also, are you cleaning all the stuff in his cage 3 times a week? If so, then he's over scenting. Males like to scent stuff in their cages so that they know it's theirs. This could be the reason he's scenting so much. Next time you clean his cage, either clean the stuff in the cage (leaving 1 thing) and don't wipe the bars down, or wipe the bars down and leave the stuff in the cage. You can rotate this a couple times a week. It's great that you're keeping his cage clean, but you don't want to over-clean. Hope this helps... ;)
