Q: Hi wondering if this would be suitable for a duck run?
A: The Hadley Wood Shavings - 18KG BAG is suitable for use in a duck run. Wood shavings, particularly those that are dust-extracted, are commonly used as bedding material for ducks due to their absorbency and ability to control odors. This product is described as "dust extracted," making it a suitable option for your ducks' bedding needs.
**Benefits of Using Wood Shavings for Duck Bedding:**
- **Absorbency:** Wood shavings are highly absorbent, helping to keep the duck run dry by soaking up moisture from droppings and water spills.
- **Odor Control:** The natural properties of wood shavings assist in minimizing unpleasant odors in the duck run.
- **Comfort:** Wood shavings provide a soft and comfortable surface for ducks to walk and rest on.
**Considerations:**
- **Maintenance:** Regular cleaning is essential to prevent the buildup of moisture and bacteria. Implementing a deep litter method, where fresh shavings are added on top of soiled ones, can be effective. However, complete replacement of bedding should be done periodically to maintain a healthy environment.
- **Dust Levels:** Ensure that the wood shavings are dust-extracted to prevent respiratory issues in ducks. The Hadley Wood Shavings are noted to be dust-extracted, aligning with this requirement.
In summary, the Hadley Wood Shavings - 18KG BAG is a suitable choice for bedding in a duck run, offering benefits such as absorbency, odor control, and comfort. Regular maintenance and monitoring will help ensure a healthy environment for your ducks.
