are the rubber ones any good?  I'm trying to decided whether to use wood or rubber obviously the web site says they are great.

I'd been thinking about them too but to be honest I was worried about the smell!

I quite fancied the idea of being able to hose them down to wash and not have to replace them regularly.

I think they were OK when they were down and not disturbed, but when moved, the smell from underneath was quite something.  I remember that the person who posted was a bit put out, having spent a fair amount on them.  He/she didn't feel they were suitable for their setup.

I suppose if you didn't have a very big area, that cleaning and disinfecting might be OK, but to be me it would just be an extra and smelly chore?

Would Stalosan or Bio-Dry help the smell?
