jippy1 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Hi Has anyone used plastic grass to line the run with , I was thinking of doing this, and then creating a dust pond for them to play in , would appreciate any advise on this, as putting the run on slabs. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Can't see it working if I'm honest. You need something in the run for them to scratch around in and to absorb their poo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 My firm favourite is Aubiose, which is a hemp based horse bedding. Have a hunt round the forum, there are a few threads about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I agree too -although I use Aubiose on bare earth not slabs, but in a covered run so it stays dry. I wouldn't be without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I've found any of the horse beddings work fine. Aubiose and Hemcore are good but more expensive - hemp. Easibed is good and bedmax which is shavings so doesn't rot as quick on the compost. At present I am trying Strawsorb by Ossichaff which is from rape straw and only £5 a bale.
