The needlepoint grid came with it, but I line the floor with good paper towels when I see internal pips. The goslings are just too tall to stand up. It's half as tall as they need and they uniformly end up with splay foot if I leave them in there. They fluff up beautifully (and much quicker)...

It's supposed to be the remedy for poison ivy, but I expect it would work on poison oak. We don't have it here, so I haven't tried it.
