The only way I know of to keep the smell down is to clean it regularly - the rodents at work smell terribly unless we clean them at least twice a week. Also, keeping the number of rodents per enclosure low helps. If possible, keep the genders separated and maintain a log of who's breeding who. Males will breed females to death if they can.
