Where can I get a big litter tray?

It needs to fit inside a 2ft wide hutch and take up as much floor of the open part of the hutch as possible and have high sides? :)

I know some of you guys use things from other shops as litter trays but we have hardly any shops here :roll: B&Q didnt seem to have anything suitable :(

Beau has stopped using his tray, and because they are in a double hutch his pee is dripping down through the trap door into Buu's hutch. And I have been having to scrub the wood everyday after work which then takes ages to dry :roll: :lol:

I have tried putting his litter tray in all different corners and have tried two trays but he gets annoyed having to jump between them and just tips them over :lol:

These are the sizes of the ones im using now compared to the hutch

Anyone know where I can get anything bigger? I have tried pet shops and this is the biggest they have that fits in the hutch :(

I have already noticed flies around Beau's hutch now and its getting warmer so I would really appreciate if anyone could just let me know if they have seen anything I can use :) x
 
I have scoured Leeds for a 50cm ssquare tray for the end of poppy and guinness's hutch and there was nothing, nothing i tell you :(

what i've done now is put down:

- a layer of rubber matting

- then a thinnish layer of newspaper for drips

- then a litter tray as big as possible... a rectangular storage box thingy...

so when they miss the tray i can just scoop up the newspaper and wipe the mats clean. not ideal but it saves hutch scrubbing every day. i wish hutch manufacturers would sell trays to fit their hutches!
 
I use an underbed storage box - I got mine from Wilkinsons but the same ones can be found everywhere. I also use the bases to indoor cages that are too small for rabbits. I chuck the wire top away and keep the base. I have found several on ebay for very little and also at car boot sales.

I also have been using a gardeners plastic potting up tray for my blind bunny and his missus. It's low at the front and very high at the back. I forget the maker but you can get them anywhere in garden centres etc.

I also use greenhouse plant trays which are about 2ft square but they have low sides so probably won't suit you.

Good luck with your hunt.
 
I use an old washing-up bowl. It has high sides all round which my 2 need to stop them peeing up the wall :oops:
 
i use the underbed storage box too.. not sure of dimensions but it takes up a third of the 42" dog crate, its a 27 litre one... just saw some in tescos but they are a bit more expensive than the cheap one i got from a pound type shop :)
 
If you want some rubber matting I've got a 10m roll :roll: and have only used a bit of it so can send you some if you want.

Hello,

I've just started using gardeners gravel trays. They're completely square-sided so you can set them side by side with no gaps and they're around 52cm by 42cm. I find them deep enough that they don't pee over the sides and my girls are quite big bunnies. You can get them in B&Q but they're about £4-£5 each - not cheap - but very sturdy.
 
I used to use high sided washing up bowls too which were very good.
What I have started using now is a very large, medium height trug tub which I get from my pony shops so if you have any horsey shops where you are that might be worth a try
 
You could try the trays they sell for under grow bags or you can order the cage bottoms for indoor rab/guinea cages from the manufacturers.

The easiest option would probably just be to line the bottom of the cage with lino :)

I got one from P@H and it isn't much bigger but has a lid that you can clip on the top which acts as a lip to keep it all in

Cost a fiver, it's good if their aim is OK in the first place!! :lol:

:wave: Thanks guys, the cage trays seems like a good idea :)

How big is that tray Fiski23, I dont have a pets at home where I live so cant go look at them :lol:

I dont really want to line the hutch with anything, ive read that it can get mouldy underneath on here :) I dont want to do anything to ruin the hutch as it cost a lot of money just to get it here :) x
 
i have three of these..two from bunny basics when it was there and one from seapets which no longer stock them im afraid but i found one here

http://www.smyleepets.co.uk/SmyleeMain/popup.asp?CategoryID=90&ProductID=1829

put lino under the tray area..and do the whole storage box etc idea...BUT do make one psace lower as they do get lazy as we all know:lol:

indoors ive bene using puppy wee wee pads around the tray as bertie misfires over the short edge fromt ime to time.
