Hi all,
I'd like to start giving our herd more floor time in a bigger space but need to find a quicker, more efficient way to set this up and take it down. I think I'm just going to use spare c&c grids zip locked together to create the boundary around the space. I think this should be quick to fold up?
We have carpet throughout the house so I need something to lay on the floor to protect the carpets from wee and a way that does not involve as much bulky laundry as using multiple bed protectors and fleece liners. I'm already doing multiple laundry washes every day for my fleece liners. We have 6 piggies and I was considering adopting two more rescues but we need things to be more efficient.
I've got some disposable puppy pads that could be good because I can dispose of the only the ones that are wet and reuse the others instead of washing big things when one area is wet but it does mean repeat purchases and takes longer to lay them down when doing a big space. I think this might be less smelly too?
I just bought a 300cm x 200cm XL waterproof picnic blanket and I thought I had finally cracked it and it would be ideal because wee wouldn't go through to the carpet but it's fleecy on top so I thought wee would soak into it. BUT water doesn't seep into the thin top fleece layer. It just pools on top and stays wet! Does anyone else use something similar? I'm not sure if it would improve if I washed it several times because it's thin. Or maybe I just need an additional thin fleece layer on top?
I'm thinking I'll make a correx hay tray to try and limit the hay clean up.
What have you found works best for you please? Thanks.
