cardboard bedding.

[itsme123]

I asked the Q is SY but no-one seemed to know, so thought I'd try in here!

Does anyone know of any cardboard bedding suppliers in northamptonshire / leicestershire area? I phoned ecobed who said they didnt think they had any suppliers in the area and said they'd phone me back (never did). I can buy direct from them but I don't need 28 bales for one 10hh pony! I'd like to try before I buy a supply of it.

doesnt have to be eco bed, any cardboard bedding will do.

If anyone can help it would be much appreciated! Thanks

I dont know where to buy it, but when we used it, the floors got V slippy while mucking out, and after!!

We use Megazorb, which is some sort of paper/wood based thing. It's expensive to set up but brilliant once established, and doesn't smell.

Thanks. I've been looking into this for a while. Whatever i use needs to be able to be put in with the other horses' straw bedding and to rot down at the same rate (or faster). The wood based products don't seem to do this (or i'd use shavings which i can get cheaply).

Chucklovescooks: I'll only be using a thin bed, and it's on rubber matting so not worried about it being slippy...

I think Megazorb rots pretty quickly. We get ours taken by farmers no problem. It's like cat litter, little sort of pellets.

THANKYOU!!!

I have not only found a supplier of megazorb, but a supplier just 6 miles away which i didnt know existed!! AND this stuff looks like it could well solve all my 'finding a non edible bed that will decompose fast AND somewhere nearby that stocks it' problems..

You've really helped me out no end. Thankyou!!
