Hi, I'm a new member.
I would really appreciate any advice on flooring.
Basically, we have an outdoor hutch with nice run around area - not huge, but not bad.
We placed the whole thing on the grass which started out great.
But then reality and winter and rain happend.
What with us going into the cage to clean up etc the nice grass soon devloved into mud.
Obviously we can clean things up, put straw down etc, but couped with the fact that the buns don't really have a favourite poop or we spot it only takes a day to get into more of a mess than we would like.
Soooooooo, I want to do better by them.
My current thinking is to lay down something a "bit" like decking, with small gaps between the slats, which we then smother in straw.
This will:
a) improve drainage for rain
b) improve drainage for wees
c) make it much easier to scrape out and clean.
Does this sound like it could make an improvement?
Are there any other clever ideas for bunnies on grass who make a bit of a mess?
Thanks in advance!
