Hubby was joking that we have our own version of a grow farm under our house now

Is it in or under the house?

I'd worry about the smell....

Quote:
It is under the house.
We have had them in the house now for two weeks, (shower in the bathroom) and the smell is very low. Clean up every day is key.
Plus, since we do not use any commercial feed, we have found that the smell is much lower anyways.

We also give them a fresh scoop of dirt to play in, that we reserved for this very reason last fall.
So all we can smell is fresh hay and fresh dirt.
And thats even when we have been gone all day, and come back home.
The neighbor helped confirm this as well.
