I previously asked what people lined their cube with, having just got mine, after 5 years with an Eglu Classic...and discovered my new girls, knocked lots of wood shaving onto the floor through the large hole.

 

Now I wonder if anyone has a full size liner for the nest.....why doesn't Omlet make one, a full sized liner, which you can pull out to empty easily.......it would be so ideal...

 

 

 

So I am asking what you use, as it's driving me to distraction in rubber gloves

Aubiose here, nice and thick....works very well for my 9 girls in their cube. Used to be stingy in amount I put in, but a good amount of the stuff means it absorbs all the moisture, so less cleaning too.

Neat idea - I put a large sheet of hard plastic (those flimsy chopping boards from Lakeland) and just put a load of Aubiose on top - they don't dig down so it seems to stay in place.

I got a cheap kneeling mat cut to size to fill in the hole.

Mine is lined with newspaper and topped with sawdust, works well for me!

Thanks for the ideas, but I'm still on the quest for a liner, that will fit and is easy to pull out with all the dirty bedding intact, for cleaning.

 

....If you ever see an odd woman in a shop measuring, plastic boxes and peg holders etc...it could be me !! Lol

 

Will try some kind of plastic sheeting in the meantime.....thanks all

Bear in mind that anything that fits snugly enough will be a haven for redmite which can spring up overnight in even the cleanest and well maintained coops

I've been looking for something for my Go also! They are good at kicking out all the material so the egg lands on plastic where it can get cracked or coated with poop. There seem to be two options for sale, Kuhl nest pads or this pressed coconut fiber-looking stuff. The problem is that you have to order them in large quantities or pay 3-4X in shipping what the pad costs! The Kuhl pad looks almost like a cheap door mat so I might try just cutting up one of those if I can't find an affordable solution.
