Review: Megazorb

Not open for further replies.
I found mine smells like wet soil but I still love it.

It keeps my pigs very dry which is excellent 'cos Rosie is a pain with her long hair ::)

5*'s for me
 
I used Megazorb for the first time today, I was a little shocked when I opened the bags. It looks like a piece of papers that has been through the washing machine and dried.
No smell and easy to use I will report back in a few days when its cleaning time.

I used it on mine at first and it does really absorb the wet, but it doesn't smell great - like if you use woodshavings (I know some people don't like them), it smells all clean when you've finished.

I found it expensive from Pets at Home but I believe you can buy large bales like for horses, which is cheaper.

It's soft on their feet

I just swapped to Megazorb from woodshavings (I don't like the dust with the shavings) and I have to say, it's great! :D It was about £6.00 for a big horse-sized bag of it and I love how soft it is. It's also barely dusty at all. O0
 
Just bought a big bag of the stuff for about a fiver for my indoor cages - using hay at the moment and it's just everywhere. Not sure this will be any better. Oddly though I did think my car smelt funny this morning - having read the rest of this thread, I guess that might be why! ?
 
Just picked up my first bag, £5.50.
No smell from the bag.,
Using it either tonight or tomorrow.
I'll post what I think then. :)
 
I buy mine from a local horse feed supplier at £5.50 for a large sack. We've been using it for a couple of months now and, touching wood, have had no awful smells from it. It is mega absorbant and easy to use. The only downside is it can be a bit messy at clean out time, but thankfully it sweeps up easily enough!
 
Just cleaned out all my indoor pigs with it, and so far - I like it! It doesn't really smell of anything and they seem to like it (running round investigating it now!)

:)
 
Where did you get yours from Sophie?

I want to get some for when I have fleece in the shed (with megazorb in the litter trays) but I don't want one that smells lol ;D
 
Well, I cleaned the boys today.
Tey seem to like megazorb.
I didn't notice any smell at all.
So far so good. O0
 
Did you find it dusty Anne? I always used to end up with a layer of Megazorb dust on my nose! :D

I got mine from Crossways, think it was £5.40-ish for a big sack (not a bale - but I think they might do large bales too?)

They had kicked it around this morning but I quite like it!

I haven't found it dusty yet, I am only at the top of the sack.
I'll let you know how it goes, but fine so far. :)
 
That's good then! I used to put my hand in the sack to get it out so thats probably why I had a slight problem with it...lol
 
i use a dustpan to scoop it out of the bag :D

I'm not allergic to it thank god. feel so much better than i did when we had medibed!

ive still never had a smelly bag of megazorb though ?
 
OK, so the next morning after cleaning them I went in and found it EVERYWHERE! They must have invited all their friends round for a party and then taken it in turns to see who could throw it the furthest! The indoor cages with deep trays were ok but the other - OMG!

Bless their cotton socks. It's not like I haven't got enough to do, without constantly sweeping and hoovering!

Back to hay for that cage I think, but I'll def. keep using Megazorb for the others. Mine doesn't smell and is a nice soft surface for them :)
 
All I've smelt from Megazorb is a woody smell. It's not a bad smell. :)
 
No mess here, and still pong free. O0
 
Hopefully, Louise( Sunshine and Twinkle) can help you out there.
I get mine from Golborne, if you can't find one nearer. :)
Let me know if you need the details. O0
 
Hiya,

Thanks Anne for the heads up. I got mine from Hammonds feeds which is on Wilson Road in Huyton L36 it's not far from the M57 Motorway.

it costs £5.26 a bag roughly. GreenMule.co.uk also do Megazorb for a similar price but you have to pay delievery of course. :)

Hope that helps and welcome to the forum.

Just ordered a bag for mine, so we'll give it a try O0 They're on chopped hay/ medibed at the moment, but i find it doesn't absorb that much even with newspaper, plus it works out quite expensive ;) How long does an 85 ltr bag last you?
By the way pampered piggies do it as well now, but again you do have to pay postage. it's out of stock at the mo though O0
 
When I used it in two 2x4 C&C and a Nero 3 it would last me 2 weeks that was with changing twice a week. :)
 
Green Mule e-mailed me to tell me that it would be an extra £18.50 postage on top of the normal charge, because we're on an island! :o ::) >:( So I had to cancel it, seeing what Sally would have to charge on PP as it's back in stock. ;)
 
Green Mule are rubbish! I ordered excel from them and they emailed me to say they had none in stock! Don't like them! :tickedoff:

;D
 
;D ;D ;D ;D neither do i now! >:D i've just looked on surrey pet supplies and they cost £6.99 for normal postage and £5.99 on top of that for islands :( ;D This is the annoying thing about living on an island! ;D I'm phoning round the livestock shops, cos i'm sure somewhere must stock megazorb or auboise! ;D it's such a livestocky area, loads of people have horses! ::)
