Joeboe2000 7 Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 As title says, I've noticed straw in the 8 week old kits poo. We've swapped to paper based bedding and it all sticks to the meat we're giving them. Has anyone overcome this hurdle? Quote Link to post
welsh_hunter12 119 Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 I use straw,paper and saw dust (flake type) it all sticks to meat and I’ve never had any problems.have a go at using dry food like alpha or chudleys for this time of year.less flies and nothing will stick to it.the kits I’ve bred over the years have thrived on it at that age 1 Quote Link to post
Luckee legs 464 Posted June 26, 2022 Report Share Posted June 26, 2022 Same as Welsh hunter. I've used paper,straw hay and fleece over the years, nothing is perfect. The only bedding I don't use now is paper because of problems you describe and in winter it picks up moisture, just doesn't have thermal properties of everything else. I also switch to dry food from June until I start ferreting again. They do need a lot of water when on dry food but they look good on it. Quote Link to post
