Krysia Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I have ordered one of these for the ducks to splash in. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/QPS-Duck-Pond-Strong-Animal-Friendly-Polymer-Ideal-/260641546434?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Pet_Supplies_Poultry&hash=item3caf7260c2 they are really cool as they come in all omlet colours! I ordered Blue to go with the elgu! I thought it would be a great size as big enough for them to play in, but small enough to clean / empty on a regular basis! what does everyone else use?

Chucky1 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Hi Krysia - we use mortar mixing troughs from Homebase (they're a bit cheaper though sorry I couldn't find a link) Also to help them in and out we have sunk them into pallets and infilled any gaps. It gives them a bit of beach too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salbo Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) I have just bought the sand pit from Argos, which other people on the reviews have used, they were on offer to just before the new catalogue came out! It comes as a two pack so I thought I could swap them over for easier cleaning etc.... getting ducks this weekend, so hope all works well! I just need to plan how they get in it now!

Guest Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 THANK YOU SO MUCH ! I was looking for something like this but couldn't find it. I reserved a plastic sand pit paddling pool thing. But I am ordering one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Blue I like blue. Don't have an eglu but it will stand out Did you get extra truggs ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krysia Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 Did you get extra truggs ? what for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 They are the plugs for the hole. She emailed dad what colour and then the email after he said what it is for she said she would throw in extra trugs for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krysia Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 why dont they just call them plugs! no we got it without the hole, we have a pump we can use to fill a watering can from the pond! (we have a hosepipe ban but I can fill the pond ok! thank goodness) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I know plugs would just be easier and I was reading on here Hosepipe ban is for plants if it is for animals you can use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
