I was out last night cleaning for nearly 3 hours- only one of my 6x2x2 hutches- admittedly i got interrupted by my neighbors dogs trying to get the buns , so had to put up additional fencing for them. I ended up with four black bin bags of hay out of one hutch.
My buns are definately bedded down well, but it is a mission to get the cleaning done in this weather. Its' so cold my hands have started cracking and bleeding even with gloves over. Anyone else having problems cleaning outdoor buns?
How long would it normally take you to do a 6x2x2 hutch that was full up with bedding?
Normally it takes me one hour per hutch- sometimes 45 minutes.
That's including filling up buckets of water, putting the bin bags away to one side, taking out all the bedding, wiping round throughly etc inside and out, cleaning bowls. Moving buns in and out into carriers.
Indoor cages normally take me 10 mins to clean out, so there is definately a contrast in keeping buns outside and it's freezing
