Re: What do you use for suckin' poo? How well does it work? Does the hay get stuck?

If you're interested in an alternative to suckin' poo ... I scoop poo. It's quick, clean, cheap, and quiet. A plastic soup ladel works great! It glides across the fleece, collecting every poopie in its way. For the cage corners, I use a regular plastic teaspoon. I place a small butter container in the cage to keep dumping the poos into, then I dump them into a small trash bag which gets taken to the outside trash can.

(I found a good sturdy large plastic ladel at a thrift store for under $1.)

This works perfectly on non-hay areas, which is the entire downstairs of the cage. For the hayloft I use a different method (I don't poopie scoop that because 3 days after cage cleaning day I replace the fleece up there since it gets covered in hay).
