Hi everyone,
Thank you so much for all the advice on hay and underbed storage boxes.
It was really really helpful, and I've finally got a set up where they both seem happy [except at first they seemed to hate the underbed storage - wouldn't use it - and now they love it - not sure what happened there].
I've had to pen them in at night cos Twinkle destroyed a couch, but I bought a second puppy pen, and joined them together, so they basically still have most of the living room, but Ghibli still hates it because he grew up with free run of everything [even though he actually never left the living room which is why I got him a friend - so he wouldn't be alone at night anymore.
OK, so here's the facts.
When I had a small bunny [Ghibli] and a small lit box I'd change him every other day [very occasionally every third day].
One bag of megazorb would last arround 3 to 4 changes, which averaged out at arround a week!
When I got Twinkle [who's twice Ghibli's size] I started changing it every day!
So arround 1 2/3rd to 2 bags of megazorb a week!
Since I've moved them on the underbed storage box their lit doesn't seem to get as wet anymore.
I give them loads of hay, and it seems to absorb most of their pee.
Every morning I go through the top layer in the middle, where they generally don't pee, and take out anything that's not wet! Then go through that and remove any poops.
I then check there lit [there's usually a few spots where it's damp, but it's never soaking, remove any poops that fell through, and mix it back up, and press it all down so it's compacted [it helps make sure all the poop doesn't get mixed up in the megalomaniac when I change them].
Then I take the old hay and cover the megazorb with it, and put loads fresh hay on top of that!
One bail of hay will make up arround 5 to 6 bags of hay when I break it up [depending on the size of the bags I use, and the bail].
A bag of megazorb fills the underbed box, and I change that once a week!
Am I changing them enough?
Their lit never actually feels wet when I change it, or even smells, but I'm always worried about flies. Particularly now it's getting into summers!
Help, advice, comments?
What's everyone else's changing schedule? Am I worrying too much or too little?
P. S. Sorry if this is really really long!
