I have a few rex buns that are on wire bottom cages. Their hocks can sometimes look a little pink and calloused. I check them regularly and notice one of my bucks today had a little blood on one of his hocks. Now that he has broken the skin I assume the rest of my rex could get the same way. My question is do any of you guys have success with the resting mats? Will the buns know to rest on them? I gave him a solid mat this morning and he has been laying on it all day. Do you guys think I should try the mats or just put my rex in solid bottom cages? I hate the thought of the extra cleaning but also do not want my buns feet to hurt or worse turn into sores. This is the first time it has become an issue because they usually spend a lot more time on the ground but that is not an option lately with breeding and lots of rain.
