What is the best thing to use for mices next boxes. I've tried a few and i'm happy with what i have for my females but what do people with males find is best to keep them in?
I was going to move them all back to plastic houses but worry about the smell building up too much or condensation. I do have one boy who used to love his plastic house but now has made his next in an old milk carton. Any ideas for males and females welcome :D

My one boy Lefty don't like any type for a nest and he will sleep in the open of his cage he won't even sleep in his loo paper tube that he likes to play with he has always been a little on the strange side.

The little Homer cubes are great and I don't find they get smelly (is it just my girls but they don't seem to really pee in their bed). And I don't have any chewers so they don't get damaged. They also have a coconut shell and a coconut hideaway from the Boredom breakers/Naturals range at PAH. They do love their egg boxes too :)
I'd use the fuzzbuts for my girls but not my boys as they would stink them out in minutes haha. Right now they have a choice between plastic house, cardboard or a sputnik, going to try some other things to see what they like best. I also like the idea of the terecotta pot, I think my male Jingle would like that as he is in a milk jug at the minute. Will need to make a another trip out to buy some coconuts. Thanks for all the tips everyone :D
