Hi all,

From the second I top up Theo and Buffys litter trays and feeders with hay, Theo is there fetching it out again.

It's amazing to watch, this tiny little mini lop going to such a colossal effort to drag out every last piece! :lol:

The problem is that he will spread it all over the shed and the the two or them will poop all over it. So by the time I go out in the evening it's a huge mess and then in the morning the cycle starts over again.

Anyone else have this problem or words of wisdow? Thanks x
 
I have the problem but no solution & mines on the living room floor. Its only Boo - Joe likes it tidy, he often tells her off but she doesn't pay much attention, she's too "busy"

High sided litter tray? I haven't experienced this!
They are in the living room so would be loads of clearing up to do :lol:
 
Frosty used to do this with the baled meadow hay. Doesn’t do it with the expensive gourmet hays I buy him now, thankfully :lol: hardly any waste - although in my case any rabbit hay discarded to the floor is swept up and chucked on the edge of the mucking out compost pile and eaten by the goats :lol:
 
Thanks for the replies :)

They have a large cat litter type tray and two smaller ones, as well as a trough shaped hay feeder. I could try an underbed storage or higher sided tray, see if it helps, but I imagine it will not deter him :). He appears to get a lot of enjoyment from it, it's just more mess for me.

Think I ought to have some goats, Zoobec :lol: as it does waste an awful lot of hay x

:lol: the goats waste hay too, anything that hits the floor is bedding :roll: but Frosty’s special hay is hoovered up quickly :lol:
