Re: Bedding..
Get some newspapers and rip them in long shreds downwards like thick spaghetti then use that
Ask friends to keep their newspapers too and rip those lol.I bought a shredder from Argo (£120.00) it shreds all mail and newspapers and cardboard packaging so that with ripped newspapers and also torn up amazon corrugated cardboard beds my horse with copd, no dust! The vaccuum packed newspaper bedding is actually so chopped up the tiny bits of paper affected her. so we make our own bedding s |

Just spent the last 2 hours shredding newspapers - by hand. I've got 6 Black Bin Liners full of shredder newspaper. Ready for the weekend when we clean the stables of dust, rid it of dirt and go from using straw to newspaper.

Re: Bedding..
Whoaaaa, you need rubber matting underneath just as the vet said. building a whoile bed from newspaper would be very difficult to get the padding of depth needed for them to lie down. The paper is only to give them somewhere they feel safe to go in with no splashes. Do you have rubber matting already? Your previous post seemed to suggest you did? If not look at cow cubicle matting its very heavy duty and half the price of horse mats usually 6x4 each so you may get away with just 2 or 3.
