Try using a bedding called cell-sorb, Im not sure if Im spelling it correctly or not. You will pay quite a bit more for it han any other bedding but the few extra buck are worth is. Also I use an automatic air freshener that goes off every half hour. I hope this helps

Clean your rats more often. I found that when I increased my full cage cleanings from once to twice a week, the smell all but disappeared. Clean = less stinky.

I use eagle valley pelleted substrate (I think equine fresh is better, but local supplier chaged product) and add baking soda, wally world cheap brand is about 50 cents per lb. Also don't over crowd cages.
