Garden vac for bunny poops?!

Summer&Skye

Mama Doe
Anyone tried this or have a garden vac and see any reason this could not be used for bunny poops?! Just had a brainwave (maybe not a good one :lol:) as it's a pain sweeping up the poops off the deck boards in the run and just thought hmm could I just vac em up?! :oops:
 
Despite my three willing furry 'Hoovers' offering to help (dogs!) I normally sweep bunny poos up daily with a dustpan and brush, or a stiffer dustpan brush if it is poo/hay on grass.

We have an old cheap Hoover that we use for cleaning the car etc. so I have tried Hoovering up bunny poos/Aubiose (that stuff gets everywhere!) and found that it works well on poos on smooth dry surfaces such as patio slabs/Lino etc so should work well on dry decking.

I have actually used my shiny new Dyson Animal upright (bagless so it is so easy to empty the poos out into a binbag) in my bunny kennels/hutches/shed for a deep clean with truly brilliant results. I take care but whether Dyson would recommend it for such use I cannot say...

I could go on all day about cleaning up bunny poos :oops:
But from my experience provided it is dry and safe to do so hoovering might speed up cleaning the decking, even if you just use it sometimes for a deeper clean than can be achieved with the usual dustpan and brushing.

I've often considered buying one of those £££ Dyson handheld Hoovers just for bunny cleaning!
And then I wonder why I have no money... :roll:
