Blue-DiamondChick07 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Can I use gravel/ stones for a flooring in my run? Its not fine small stones, they're medium size. I'm quickly running out of flooring ideas. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I think some people have used pebbles/stones, but I remember a recent post about how to clean them. I think that may be an issue. Have you considered Aubiose? A lot of us use that. As long as you cover Aubiose it lasts for weeks and weeks. And it's easy to clean out and compost.

Patricia W Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 It's chopped hemp. If you put a skirt round the run ( lawn edging and cable ties is one idea) then you'll find it's retained. Other similar products are Easibed and Hemcore. Tricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue-DiamondChick07 Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 Thats a good idea. I shall try that. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chick wiggle Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Is your run covered with a roof? i dont think you said. If it is then Easibed, auboise type bedding is definately great. But it does need to be kept dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txswanie Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Hi, I put concrete slabs and stones inside the Cube run but the stones were so hard to clean inside that I removed them and replaced everything with slabs. I can now just disinfect and hose down without having to throw out poop covered stones. I have stones on some paths outside the run and I constantly have to replace the stones as the girls seem to enjoy digging them up and throwing them everywhere. I went with slabs as the girls don't spend much time in the run, they free range from 7.30 till bed time. Good luck. Colette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
