Poop boards

[CKfarm22]

Just wanted to post my upgrade to the poop board/litter box system. I tried sand for the floor substrate for about a year, and found it really messy and difficult to clean regularly. I even used a snow shovel with about 500 drill holes for scooping. Huge pain.

Poop boards beneath the perches - with a little sand, diatomaceous earth, and odor absorber - has been AWESOME. I scoop it once a week or maybe a little more frequently, and the floors can return to a slow deep litter process with pine shavings (with very little poop anyways, since they spend most days outside or up on the perches).

I’m curious as to how wide your poop boards are, how deep they are and how high from the poop boards you have your perches! We are looking to do the same idea but i have no idea how big to make anything lol!
