Max 8 months old wees like you wouldn't believe, I am cleaning him out every two days sometimes everyday using newspaper and hay ,but the paper is soaked through everytime, he doesn't even drink a lot, he seems healthy enough, and they go on the garden for part of that time .

Elvis used to wee a lot but he used to get through a lot of water so that I could understand, if I can get hold of some megazorb? do you think this would be better.
 
I would recommend using some kind of absorbent layer. Neither hay nor newspaper are very absorbent and get yucky very quickly.
 
I have just ordered a bag of megazorb, so hopefully that will help with the problem. thanks
 
mine dont really, and i have to say i constantly worry about the amount they drink as i never see them drinking and the water doesnt go down much either ! i am always checking that those water "bottles" are working properly ! lol :))
 
Here are some pictures, can you tell Max is the cheeky one.

Max being cheeky, with his cuddly in the background just in case he feel the need to hump something.
 
We use megazorb under fleece and this stays nicely dry. I change the fleece 2-3 times a week and spot clean the megazorb daily. I haven't found the megazorb to be smelly at all and their pen is in our sitting room.
