Goldstar Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Not sure if this is in the right section. I am going to make a walk in run in a few weeks and want to put aubiose, hemcore or easibed on the ground. I have found somewhere that sells hemcore and easibed, but dont know how to pronounce auboise and want to inquire about cost etc, but dont want to sound silly if I pronounce it wrong. Thank you.

Egluntyne Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Oh - be - ose. Think 'aubergine'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I think its meant to be Oh-be-ose but I say Or-be-ose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 When I first got my girls I went into the local farm/pet shop and asked for "albas oil" as soon as I said it I new what I said was wrong. They didn't stock it so the next shop I asked for wood chip Sage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyChickenLover- Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I've always said Or-bee-ose... dunno if that's right or not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowberry Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I asked for it in my local horse supply shop; I called it 'or be os'. The woman gave me some exotic pronounciation & said that I wouldn't get hold of it for love nor money.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 You pronounce it 'eezee bed' saves the embarrassment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowberry Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 You pronounce it 'eezee bed' saves the embarrassment is that said the same as 'wood chip'?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I always say it (in my head) in a French accent "Auw-bwass", as the company who makes it are French. Never bought the stuff as my local store only sells Hemcore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowberry Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I've just realised that my wood chip is Easibed; the little chicks are in a large dog crate in the living room & they have managed to kick the easibed out absolutely EVERYWHERE! Is there anything else that I can use that is a little heavy & not so flighty? My hoover's gone on strike, it can't cope with the stuff!

Tweety Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I have seen wood pellet cat litter recommended on the forum as an alternative. They do make a mess, don't they! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
