We are somewhat new to raising rabbits (only been doing it for about 2 months). I'm wondering what is the easiest way to keep the poop/urine trays from getting crusty, and how to clean used ones to remove the stuff from the last owners?
At first we lined the trays with pine shavings. That worked ok, but proved to be messy and wasn't too cheap. Then we have since moved to newspapers. We lay them inside nice and think and it works pretty well, but I'm sure the experts here have figured out something better. We clean them once per week.
So what do you use in your trays, and if you purchase used cages with trays how do you get all the crusty stuff off before you use them with your rabbits?
Thank you.
