lynda.chatfield Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I'm still getting stress with litter being kicked out of the eglu, and was wondering about putting a covered litter box inside the elgu, so that when they get into one of their "flinging it all about" mood, it stays inside - hopefully! I've seen some with a little opening, but without a cat flap. If I get a small one it might fit. Anyone got any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I tried using one of those in the run Lynda, but they studiously ignored it and continued to use the eglu as a toilet I am going to try again now that they are back in the Rablu.

lynda.chatfield Posted March 16, 2007 Author Share Posted March 16, 2007 Thanks for that Clare, I was wondering about the little opening and if they'd be spooked by it. Okay, well you know how much I was raving about the dog basket in the run? Well my latest plan is to put the dog basket with some litter in it, inside the eglu, and they can use that as a "litter tray". I put it in there last night, and they've been using it without too much of a problem. The high sides seem to keep the litter a little more contained, and there was hardly any just outside the door this morning. There's still enough room for them to move around inside and to get to their food. I'm rather liking it at the moment. This does mean I may have to get another dog basket, to fill with hay for them to snuggle up in and graze all day! At the moment I've put a washing up bowl filled with hay for them, but it's not big enough really. Does anyone think this is a bad idea - dog basket litter tray?

pepe Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 If you think about it Lynda, the rablu tray is like a dog basket, but with lower sides, but if it helps to stop the litter being kicked about, go for another dog bed! I don't know these bunnies keep us busy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 I'm going to put my bunnies out on the lawn once the threat of snow for tomorrow has gone. I will try them with thir usual litter tray in the run again and see how they get on this time, If they don't use it and persist in using the Rablu, then I'll move the tray in there.

lynda.chatfield Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 Hey guys! We have so cracked it!! We've gone for the next size up on the dog bed front, filled with hay where they can lounge and snooze, and they've got the smaller dog bed inside the eglu with a thin layer of "Carefresh Bedding" and it's working really well; they poo where they're meant to poo, it's easy to chuck it all in a bin liner/compost bin, the Carefresh stops most of the smell of urine, the bigger dog bed is better as there's more room for them to stretch out, and we're all very happy! And I'm so relieved I don't have to contort myself into all sorts of strange shapes to either get at all the bedding they've kicked out of the eglu door, or worse still have to crawl inside the run - you'd think with 8 and 9 year olds there'd be enough volenteers, but they don't relish the job!
