As shavings are so mega-expensive this year we thought we'd try something different in the field shelter. I'm trying to narrow down the choices that are in stock at our local merchants just to make it easier. From my googling Equisorb (hemp) is looking the best so far, mainly because it says it works best when the under-part of the bed is disturbed as little as possible, and we deep-litter so could be ideal. Has anyone tried it?
Also, Megazorb is described as wood pulp. Would it start off as little hard pellets like that wood-based cat litter you can get? If so I'm not sure that appeals. Also their site says to use 10 bags for initial bed which seems a bit excessive to me. But if any of you are using it and find it brilliant please let me know!
Many thanks.
