DebC Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 How do you stop the girls kicking all the bedding out of the nest box? Somebody seems to delight in pushing it through the vent hole at the bottom! Should I put newspaper underneath the bedding? I'm using aubiose Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I put a sheet of newspaper down before the bedding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikpow Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I put plain paper dwn first then the Aubiose / straw for the nestbox. Makes it much easier when cleaning them out as well as you can roll the paper up without all the poo going everywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-F-C Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I stole one of those rubber bath mats with little sticky suckers from a hotel we were staying in and cut it down to size! Works a treat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chook n Boo Mum Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Drainage when you hose it out I assume, and maybe extra ventilation ? Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
