Am I Scutty?

[Pidge]

Reading some of the posts on here regarding mucking out, I have noticed that a fair few people wear gloves when getting the poo out of the bed. I just use my hands to lift the poo out that I can see, with perhaps a little ferret in the places where he does his poos, as I find it saves me loads of time and shavings. I do wash my hands very well after but is it just me who doesn't wear gloves to do this? Feeling very scutty at the moment........................

 

[not_with_it]

Well I must be scutty too as I dont wear gloves.

When they are on shavings its not as bad, the shavings coat the poo.

 

[Pidge]

Phew, thought it was just me! I refer to them as being like chicken nuggets as they get coated in shavings so its not really like your picking up poo, apologies if anyone likes chicken nuggets

 

[HBII]

No your not scutty at all lol!

I do pick up the nice round ones!

Hb

 

[AmyMay]

Eugh - I always wear gloves..............

 

[spotty_pony]

If I see the odd piece I have missed then I just used by bare hands (can't be bothered with gloves tbh!

)

Ewwwwwww hope you don't chew your nails!!!!!!!

 

[Pidge]

Ooops sorry

 

[Chex]

Mmm, not for me lol. I don't even pick it up with gloves on. I suppose as long as hands are washed throughly there's no problem. Would put me off if I could smell horse poo while I was eating my breakfast though lol.

 

[Pidge]

Never have done and never will do, eughhhhhh.

Prefer a shavings fork but when finding the odd lurker in the bed will pick it up and chuck it out with bare hands.

 

[rema]

Yep use my hands on good firm turds.It's only graa and cereal after all.Come on you dont know what you missing!!.

 

[TheresaW]

Have been known to pick up the odd one with bare hands!

 

[JessPickle]

Nope use gloves. Cant bare using my hands plus big horse, eating a lot I will let you fill in the rest

 

[Salcey]

generally use a fork, but if I miss the odd pellet I pick up with my hands - its not as if they eat meat - is it

 

[Kelly1982]

Nope sorry i use gloves, although if there is an odd lurker i might quickly pick it up and throw it out but for the biggens its gotta be gloves

 

[emmajanerushton]

i use gloves its ming8ing not to, the odd noggin not so bad but sorry its a bit vile to muck out a whole stable of pooh with bare hands i mean 59p for a pair of marigolds for christ sake !!!!

Gloves! Hands are free and can be washed. I inspect my neds poo weekly, by hand. Theyre broken open to see how well chewed the forage is (teeth) and squeezed to see how much moisture there is ( hydration).I do sometimes wash my hands after said operation.

Mairi. PS, dont ask me to touch a dog poo, eugh!.

 

[Pidge]

agree with you 100% horse poo is one thing but would never ever ever consider touching dog poo with my hand even it was in a glove - eugghhhhhhhh

We used to have dung fights as teenagers. It would always start when we were flattening the muck heap and someone got a bit over zealous with the fork and caught someone else with a stray 'nugget'.

Surely even those of you who wear rubber gloves would give your hands a very thorough wash with antibacterial soap after being at the yard so what is the problem?

 

[siennamiller]

eew, but what about when you muck you with your bare hands and then forget and chew your nails!!!

 

[Christmas_Kate]

I don't wear gloves

I thought i was the only one!!

If you knew what went into chicken nuggets you CERTAINLY wouldn't eat them... EVER!!
T'would be easier to say what DOESN'T go in.......

 

[MagicMelon]

Eww, sorry but even touching it through gloves is gross for me - especially when you get a warm one...... yeuch.

 

[JACQSZOO]

I'm a bare hand sorta girl too

 

[Enfys]

I had to read this because I had no idea what "Scutty" was!

Now I see, I wear gloves for everything.......luckily OH brings home a supply of nice blue latex gloves from work........I can't stand anything in my nails (not that they are good nails), I even mix horse feed wearing gloves.

 

[Pidge]

so it would seem you about half do and half don't. Makes me feel better as I thought it was just me who did this

Does save me loads of time and shavings though so well worth it, and it is only fibre after all

 

[Fairynuff]

Whats lurking under your nails is already digested for you

!! M.

On my 18th birthday (will never forget it!) I was with my boyfriend Stevin. We were running down a grass slope to get to the station on time when I slipped in a BLOODY DOG TURD and slid down the wet grass. I had [****] from my heels to my hair. I cried, went to Stevins and had to have a shower (wearing gloves) to get it out of my hair. Worst birthday Ive ever had in my life

Hope the dog got constipated-baaaaadly.Mairi.
