Morning everyone ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I've had my pellet bed down a month now, and I need to ask a few questions.
1) Bed depth - how deep do you make your beds? I'm on concrete, and my mare constantly moves the bed around, to the point of creating bare patches. The initial depth of bed was about 3ins.
2) Bed colour - is it normal for the bed to go brown (I have friends who manage to maintain a sparkly white bed). Currently the droppings are skipped out at least 2x per day, and the wet taken out once a week.
Would having a deeper, more stable bed (no pun intended lol), help to prevent the movement and therefore mixing everything up?
PS I'm on full livery, so the YM and helper do the majority of the mucking out.
Thanks![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
