I've noticed today that my guineas aren't giving off their rather, umm, individual odour ::) when they are due for a clean-out and realised that it's because I've used Aubiose again. Don't think I'll be using it for the boys though, they seemed to get it stuck in private places.
 
I'll probably give it another go when they're a bit older. They're only 4 months and when I used it, they each had a piece sticking out everytime I got them out. Perhaps it was just the size of their 'bits' at the time! Getting personal now :embarassed:

It is great stuff though, so absorbent.

In that case I'll definitely give it another go ... when they're a bit more ... umm, mature! ;)
 
I use Aubiose and think it is great, I also use shredded paper on top of the Aubiose and hay on top of that. When it comes to a quick clean out I just lift one corner of the bedding and hey presto! the shredded paper just peels off in one piece along with the poo's and it leaves the Aubiose more or less clean underneath just need to remove any wet bits and then replace with shredded paper and lots of hay. O0
 
When using this product do I just put it in the cage and thats it,or do I have to do anything to it,or add anything,the girls are getting quite warm on their vetbed and when picking my daughter up from her riding lesson yesterday the owner told me I could take what I want,I really want to try this product
 
I just put newspaper down then a layer of the Aubiose on top. I have used it without paper too when I have none and it works well like that too but is easier to clean out when there is a layer of paper underneath.
 
I also use newspaper underneath , it just rolls up then when cleaning out.

is there a website i can order either aubiose or megazorb from at a reasonable price?

i dont know of anywhere in my area (derby) that sells it :(

I'm paying a visit to my home village tomorrow though, and theres a horse supplies shop there so i might take a look and see if they sell it, but i dont visit often so even if they do sell it i cant rely on getting it from there...
 
I can't find Aubiose either....if anyone knows of where to get it in the Colchester, Essex area please let me know!
 
I'm going to try some at the weekend our local farm shop stocks it maybe you try yours?
 
Thanks, but i've phoned a lot of local farms/animal bedding suppliers in the area and they say they can't get it! Or they tell me Hemcore is the same, but I know it isn't exactly the same. Am still trying to locate some, but it seems this part of Essex is Aubiose free!
 
I give it 2 stars **

Flipping hate it. Found it 'rough' textured, bitty, strongly scented and hard to pick the poops out of. Didn't keep the piggies very well insulated, even with masses of hay. Sorry. :(
 
I tried it for a few wheeks, but found that Mischief was getting red feet  :(  Keeping it for emergency use only!

Now changed to vetbed - which they love!

Give it ***
 
As there has been a shortage in woodshavings for some time now (according to our equine shop due to lack of houses being built), I have just started using Aubiose.

I just went into our local horse shop and asked, and they ordered some in for me, price seems to have gone up a bit, most people on here said 7 or 8 quid, but I now had to pay 10 for a big bale.

I was wondering if you actually spray it with water before use? It says on the packet you are supposed to, "to activate it's spongelike qualities", but how many of you actually do that?
I have used it dry for now, and would like to hear some views on whether or not to moisten it before use.
 
dry....I think you only damp it down for horses Sxx
 
i think that aubiose is the best because you say that it has no dust and that makes it easier to clean

I would say theres no point damping it down as you'll be changing the whole bed frequently anyway, horse beds although are mucked out the remaining bed stays theres for ages so damping it down would be worthwhile

sorry that ddnt make sense did it ? lol !

Ive used aubiose for horses and am going to use it for my guineas too
 
I give the aubiose 5stars

been suing it for a week and its treat, its actually softer than it looks and seems to be very absorbant
 
Anyone know of any online places selling this as Id like to try it to compare it to megazorb

thanks:)
