Tiny bits of poo in shavings - how do you deal with them?

[Wagtail]

If I have the vet coming I stick a bit of chicken wire over a barrow and use it as a sieve

On a weekend I use a very fine fork (the sort used for woodpellets) to rake over the bed (like you'd rake up leaves) and find that pulls a fair bit to the front that then gets scooped up and disposed of

In general though I think the best way is to try and configure the stable to minimise traffic over the bed, things went from bad to worse when I moved the haynet location!

Chicken wire - great idea!

Well quite frankly I'm disappointed. *tongue firmly in cheek*

Where is the magic gadget huh? The "oh I bought this and it does the meanest job no bits left at all!"

Looks like those tiny bits of poo are here to stay. Nooooooo!

Could I not train a mouse to pick them out?! They'd have it done in no time for a bit of cheese I reckon....

You need a garden sieve. SHake it over your barrow, the bits drop through and the shavings remain.







(I am joking!< life is too short, chuck a thin layer of fresh shavings over the top)
