My thoughts on Flush Kleen

It has been about two months since we invested in a panless cage system. At the time, I was going through some issues related to a tick bite this past summer and was literally on the verge of a sell out if I didn't do something quick. After much debate and decision making, hubby purchased a new cage system and the rest is history! Here are some of the pros and cons of this kind of system:

Pros:
No pan cleaning-in and out of the barn, dump, refill, repeat
No need to purchase pressed wood pellets monthly
No extra paper trash
Takes 10 min or less to clean a 28 hole system
The waste can be directly dumped into the garden, its not mixed with wood shavings, ect.
Get a wind shield wiper(the kind you wash wind shields with) with the extendable handle, it's perfect for scraping everything down if an indoor water hose isn't an option

Cons:
You HAVE to scrape/flush every day, you feed, you clean.
You HAVE to have a ventilation fan
The Works Cleaner will be your friend!
I strongly suggest doing a good soapy water wash down bi-monthly
No hay...forget it...unless you're in the mood to grab some nasty hay that plugs the outlet hole.

Love this for those calcium deposits!

Hay I scraped forward because of a nutty first time doe who has no idea how to make a nest.

Cleaned the pans with soapy water today, nothing like a good shine! I don't have a water hose to spray down daily, I tried it and it freaked them out, they got wet and really didn't do anything that my trusty wind shield wiper couldn't do.

Overall, I do like the ease of cleaning. Yes you do have to do it daily but the smell is minimal to none if you stay on top of it. I don't see an increase in humidity either like most said I would. The ventilation fan is wonderful, it exchanges the air with a slight breeze...kinda feels like you're at the beach! Of course, ask me again how it feels this summer...hope it won't be like the Sahara!
