astro turf in tables

Jim_staffs · 11-11-2013, 12:47 PM

I have been offered some astro turf off cuts for free and was wondering would it be ok to use in tables in the feeding and water areas to try help keep these areas clean?

hi jim
because this stuff is free you can't go wrong!!
when it gets soiled you can wash or dump it.

Go for it

I recently bought some "artificial greengrocer grass" and have glued some to a square of polystyrene (from insulation offcut). OH has cut the central section out, leaving the "grass" to fold in to the void, putting a water dish to fit. The idea is that the torts climb on to the block and wipe their feets before walking thro the water. Working quite well so far so will prob do same for the other pens

That was something I was a little worried about if they would try to eat it. Pics would be great thanks
