Just got ours today, so I can't speak from experience. But we planned to use the 'master' shower as our brooder. We use the master bedroom as a study/computer room and that bathroom just doesn't get used much. That shower never gets used, so why not? It's smelling a little piney, thanks to the bedding, we'll have to see about smell later. Guess we're lucky to have an out of the way, secure, usable space.
