I have been using easibed stuff mixed with shavings. Was still getting sticky so have now a layer of sand and cat litter underneath and seems to be working fine, seems to take the moisture from the droppings. I only use on stock birds, YBs/OB racers are scrapped every day with sand on the floor that is raked every day too.
