Emu Diapers

[alliekaazaam]

Hey y'all!
My boyfriend and I are trying to figure out if anyone sells diapers for Emu's, or if anyone has had any luck making one. We would love for our 4 week old Emu to continue to stay inside with us for a while. He sleeps in bed with us sometimes... He loves it, and we love it too! But last night he pooped in bed while we were watching a movie and that's when we realized we need to get him or make him some kind of diaper.

Open to many ideas!
Thanks in advance

Welcome to BYC! I don't have any emu experience but I love that you watch movies with yours in bed! Maybe this link will help?

Thank you so much! we definitely enjoy his company, he loves to cuddle with us in bed and we would love to continue to let him do that until he gets too big or until getting a diaper on him is impossible haha. I actually saw that link previously when I tried to google it which is what led me here, I just thought I'd start a new thread seeing if anyone has found anything recently. Those aren't specifically made to fit emu's and since they don't offer refunds, I'd hate to waste money on them just for them not to fit :/

I'm fairly certain you're putting us on, but regardless, this ought to give you something to consider:

I hear you. How big is he? Forgive my emu ignorance but would a large chicken diaper fit at this point?

Here’s our little guy. He is quite the cuddler

No worries! He's 2 feet tall when his neck is stretched out, he's actually asleep on me right now so I don't want to get up and measure him. I'm not sure if a large chicken diaper would work. We have chickens but I've never had diapers on them because they've always been outside!

What a cutie! Looks like you might be able to get away with a chicken diaper but he'll probably outgrow it quickly.
