I could use a few suggestions for good hutch floor covering.

The thing is, i use sawdust (I don't know if they call it that in america...)for all my hutches but it's driving me mad having sawdust all over my garden permanently.
(It blows around, sticks on the grass, gets in cracks between paving stones etc etc)

Are there any good hutch floor coverings that is about the same price of sawdust? I don't have a rabbitry, only three hutches but it still makes a heck of a mess.
My breeding doe, Honey kicks her sawdust around like crazy.

How are your cages set up exactly? Are they wire bottomed with drop pans, solid bottomed, or on the ground hutches?

This might help to narrow down what type of material will help better.

I have 4 built-in indoor solid bottom hutches, only one is in use.
Also two outdoor solid-bottom hutches, one two story, the other single story with run attached. I put sawdust in the run as she uses paving as her poop corner and it sticks and looks gross

What do they use there for horse stalls? You might want to look around and see - here in the US we have Woody Pet and I also just bought something called "Equine Fresh" or something like that - because they only had 2 bags of Woody Pet left at my TSC store. Both of these products are used for horse stalls....

I wish I could be of more help - sorry!

Do you have a litter tray for them? I'd recommend either coating the base in petsafe varnish or glueing lino to the base so it's easy to clean and any accidents don't soak the wood. Then put paper based, non clumping catlitter in a litter tray in the corner they use. Big pile of hay in the litter tray for munching and hay/straw in the bed area. In winter you can put more hay/straw in the hutch area for extra warmth if you want.

I don't breed so I don't know what would be appropriate for a nesting doe.

Thanks for all the good suggestions, I presumed they just use hay for horses but i'll certainly look into it
I don't use a litterbox i'm afraid but thanks again anyway
