Im thinking about switching to this bedding.

Does anyone use it or have any thoughts on it?

Any info greatly received!

A few people on my yard use it. It's supposed to be super absorbant but doesn't look very nice... and im afraid that kinda matters to me! But it doesn't seem very fluffy, kinda compacts down and im not sure how easy it is to make banks and things out of it. All depends if you want to deep litter or if your on rubber matting really x... Megazorb is brilliant mixed with shavings, if that's any help x
 
yay, i love it, have posted about it quite a few times before. i've used it for years, wouldn't have anything else - it's warm, clean (doesn't break down to dust with use, unlike most other types of bedding), no smell, doesn't dry out the feet as shavings can (really important to me), no nasty print to get into nicks and cuts (can cause infections). i have it on top of rubber matting though, i think it would move too much on concrete.
i muck it out like shavings, and it clumps together where it's wet, so it's easy enough to do. might be different if you have a real box-walker... but they'll make a mess of anything really.
 
im for it! everyone else on my yard hates it - think its the look more than anything! but at 3.20 a bale delivered for the trial its more than worth it! the lady is really nice and based in st albans so they will come out and lay it for you! i havent mats yet but am trying to deep litter during the week then all out sundays.
 
its smells and looks lovely easy to work with but it does not soak the pee up! some one said it being 3.20 a bale where do you get it from and where in the country are you please?
 
near where they are based in st albans ..they do it to start at 3.20 -if you buy in bulk you get it for £4 but u needto store it
