No, it's not the ferts. Fert smell is definetly different. Even fert litter boxes smell different from cats. Fert smell is musky....but what I can smell of it doesn't bother me at all. Yes some people's ferts can smell worse than others...especially those from a pet store. Diet plays a big part in how ferts smell. Yucky food equals a yucky coat and smelly fert. Also if people bathe them too much like more than once a month it causes the oils to over reproduce and makes for a smelly fert along with not cleaning out the ears.

Most fert owners are either immune to fert smell or love it. We're just weird I guess.

I think that becasue my apt. is such a small place and the fact that I haven't had any kind of air unit running these last few weeks that thats why others have started telling me about the smell. I feel so stupid for not realizing that sooner. I'm still going to get a black light, shampoo the carpets, and I live for Febreeze in between cleanings.

Thanks for your input.
