Basket: More permanent installations require their own housings and these types are characterised by the basket strainer. Here, a suitably strengthened wire mesh or perforated plate shaped into a basket is placed inside a sealed housing through which the feed stream flows under pressure. In simplex systems the flow continues until the strainer is clogged with the unwanted solids. At this point the flow is interrupted and the basket is manually changed.
Box may be used, but basket is better because pet sleeps curled up. For young pet, half fill basket with soft, warm cloths and dry, soft hay or grass. For adult, use dry grass or hay only. Change bedding once weekly. |
