(Mods if I put this in the wrong place, pls feel free to move it)
I'm doing the deep litter method and I'm wondering if I'm doing it wrong.
When the litter looks a little extra pooped on, I'll distribute a couple handfuls of food grade DE over the litter, and then add fresh pine shaving litter ontop. I freshen the hay as well.
Now if the above is correct, then I'm glad I'm doing it right... BUT
It feels like I'm adding fresh litter to the existing litter once every other day. At that rate I'll be going through pine shavings really fast and I might bury my girls! (Doubtful) hehe
Suggestions?
