katieD Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 got the run together finally- after lots of swearing and glares from the hubby about why they need such a huge run it looks great! i will take some pics soon- promise put the eglu in for now as cant wait until the cube comes im at a bit of a miss about what to do about bedding/flooring now? always planned on putting some sort of horse bedding down, but after them being in there 6 hours i cant believe the amount of poo they have generated! and ive started to think that just having the slabs down would be a benifit as i can sweep it daily and powerwash it regulary. think the woodchips must have disguised alot of poo in the eglu run how often would i need to top up the horse bedding of i poo picked daily? just thinking how expensive it would be- cant really afford a bale or so a week thanks for your help x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 If I were you, I'd definitely try Hemcore or Easibed. They really do absorb the poos - I only poo pick the most obvious, the rest just get dried up and disappear . I only clean out my run every couple of months - it really does last that long! (Also, wouldn't they be a bit bored with nothing to scratch about in ?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katieD Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 oh that would be fine- i bed my horses on easi bed and i use 2 bales a week and it costs a bomb! every couple of months is fine! i was thinking i would need to do it every week ive ordered some shallow tubtrugs that im going to fill with soil as they love their dust baths thanks for your help- better get that roof on now! get to it hubby! xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I purchased two bales of Bliss about three months ago and I am just down to half way in the second bale Like ANH I poo pick the obvious ones but most of it gets dried up and absorbed into the bedding. My bantams are on woodchip and I agree it does hide a lot of poo. (I have to say that i prefer Aubiose but this has gone up to £9.00 a bale locally so I will be trying bedmax next at £6.50 a bale) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
