chickenopolis Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 We have a cube for our two girls and in the poo trays I usually put wood shavings, just so any nasty smells can be absorbed at night - and it makes poo picking first thing in the morning a lot quicker! Well, today when going to Pets at Home ( so nearly bought a couple of guinea pigs)..I saw some lavender scented wood shavings, which I knew I had to buy to keep our girls sweet smelling. Has anyone else tried these?? Going to put them in the cube tomorrow when I do my weekly "hutch wash". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docsquid Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I haven't used those, but hemcore comes pre-scented with Citronell and the hen house smells lovely. Lavender is my favourite scent, so I might indulge at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrambledhead Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Would it be cheaper to just sprinkle on some lavender oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Hello, I grow quite a lot of lavender at allotment, and picked loads of it when the insects had finished with it. I spread it around coop and run and it smells lovely. The chickens also eat/play with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 The Pets at Home scented wood shavings smell of plastic bags to me I tried them and wouldnt bother They are also hard to break up from the 'bale' (broken nail anyone?) I would buy an alternative and spray wth essential oil as suggested above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
