Use absorbent bedding materials

Solution

Choose bedding materials that effectively absorb moisture and help control odors.

Explanation

Pine shavings are highly absorbent and commonly used for chickens and rabbits. Straw is less absorbent but good for insulation (goats, deep litter). Sand can be used in runs but needs frequent cleaning. Avoid cedar shavings for chickens/rabbits due to respiratory irritants.

Notes

Ensure bedding is stored dry.
