  1. Lay bags over stable floor & slice open.
  2. Water generously.
  3. Leave for an hour to allow pellets to absorb water.
  4. Tip each bag onto stable floor then fluff & spread.

Method 2

  1. Empty each individual bag direct onto the clean stable floor.
  2. Water generously with a hose pipe.
  3. Leave for an hour to allow pellets to absorb water.

Maintaining Your Strawmax Bed

Remove droppings daily with a close-tined fork and remove very wet patches as required.
Top up as necessary to maintain the optimum depth, this is usually between 1-2 pre watered bags per week.
Muck-out daily and top up with 1-2 bags as necessary per week.
