I had read that one doesn't nescessarily need pee pads as a base layer for a plastic litterbox.
I had also read about various hay racks.
For this time's setup, i skipped the pee pad and just put a bit more pellets underneath.
I also found a metal rectangular frame of what once used to be a woven box. I stuffed it to the brim with hay. Then i attached the two top edges to the litter box holes (there used to be handles) and placed it at the front.
If it works....
Hopefully this will stop three things-
The litterbox being slightly too big for the singlet;
Iris destroying the pads underneath on occasion and-
Supersoiling the hay she digs under her stomach.
The idea is that since the hay rack will claim some space and keep the strands contained, my lady won't have the possibility to dig at the hay and then flip around to soil on it like she loves to do. The stuffed rack also holds significantly more hay than if i were to give loose handfuls. Hopefully she'll love the foraging aspect and a wider variety of straws to choose from at a time.
