fleece

Hi All, I am looking to purchase some new sort of cage liner for my non- C &C enclosure. So far, I have been using cotton reusable pee mats from K Mart, an though they work OK, they don't clean thoroughly and get mouldy easily. I know many who rave about fleece liners, but it's obviously a...

Hi all, I’m wanting to get my pigs a new fleece tunnel but can’t decide on a softer/floppy one or a stay open one? Anyone have any suggestions or do your pigs prefer a certain type? These are the ones I’m looking at: Cosy Tunnel - Ideal for Guinea Pig/Hedgehog to play | CandE Cosies Rigid...

I am 8 guinea pigs deep! No regrets and everyone is healthy right now, thank goodness. Our current set up includes: x1 2x4 C&C for a senior boar who is next to some neighbors; x1 2x4 C&C for a neutered boar and his girlfriend; x1 2x6 for my gang of 4 girls; and x2 2x3 C&C connected with a...

I’m making some new fleece liners for the piggies! I have some 100% polyester fleece throws that I’m going to use. All the liners I currently use were pre-wicked. I don’t want to damage the new fleece. It’s from Amazon, and the care section said “Machine wash cold. No bleach.” Will washing it...

So I use fleece bedding and I want to keep my pigs clean and healthy. Manny has a small case of bumble foot (it's being treated) and I wonder if it increased when I brought him home. On the bottom I put a heavy duty shower curtain, a toddler mattress protective sheet(wicked)(it also is...

Hi guys, So today i was cuddling with my guinea pig and as i look closely to her fur i noticed lice! It’s so weird to me because even right after we got her (3 months ago), (yes we got here from a pet store, we weren’t familiar with adoptions but we’re looking into getting our next female by...

Hello! I would like some advice/tips and your experiences. It's winter, so we switched our guinea pig's bedding from fleece to paper since we can't wash the bedding outside anymore. What is the best type of paper bedding(I currently use Kaytee clean and cozy bedding)? Also, what are some...

Hi all, Where my boars decide to do their businesses (usually inside their huts) the fleece has gotten rediculously hard. Like rock hard. I try to use pee pads but they don't seem to prevent the issue and it's got to an unmanageble point. I have 2 other boars in a different cage that also use...

Hi we are New Guinea pig owners ( I had Guinea pigs when I was a teenager a while ago). What’s best to put at the bottom of a cage, we have a Kavve fleece at the bottom. We have some puppy pads and some normal fleeces to go on the bottom when we do the big clean out. I’ve heard sawdust isn’t...

Hi all. My boar has just had surgery to remove a mammary tumor, and our vet told us to set up a smaller cage for him while he recovers, so he is in a 2x3 C&C instead of his 2x6. We've just switched to fleece bedding, and I'm finding it very smelly - is that normal? I bought fleece cage liners...

So I’m gonna get Guinea pigs soon and I’m going to use fleece bedding and I was wondering if you need the small pee pads everyone I see that use fleece has them so I was just wondering if there necessary?

Hello, I have two female piggies who get their usual veggies, hay, pellets, and water. However for a few days they were receiving new veggies and I got them a new carrot hay treat. Ever since then I have been seeing a few spots where it looks like one of them had diarrhea or soft pooped...

So I have had a fleece liner for a long time now, and since I got tired of handwashing it, I decided to buy a pet laundry bag so I could wash it in the laundry machine. Yesterday, I tried out the laundry bag for the first time. I only have one fleece liner, so I placed that inside the bag and...

Hi My boyfriend and I have been thinking about getting guinea pigs as a friend has them and we just fell in love. We've been doing lots of research and asking our friend for advice. Our friend uses shavings for her three piggies, and we were going to do the same until, during some online...

Hi everyone, I just got a new fleece to line my cage but one of my piggies Madison keeps burrowing underneath it! Since it’s not a C&C cage I can’t clip it to anything and it fits the cage perfectly so can’t tuck it under/over anything. I’ve tried putting her bowl in one of the corners but she...

Well everyone, looks like Eve ate some fleece last week and now she has an overnight stay at the emergency vet to go poop. I had one of those fleece forests and she ate part of the strings that hang down. Safe to say, I'm sad and mad, but I know she will be feeling better soon and be back at...

Hey everyone! Sure this is an obvious answer but I’m thinking about changing the bedding to fleece but I don’t know what detergent and everything to use as last time I tried it didn’t end too well 😬 Thanks :)

Does any one have any recommendations (links if possible) for some cosier beds? Recently moved to fleece bedding and they’re loving it, would love to put some more snuggly items in. I’ve seen pictures of guineas sleeping in sort of cat bed looking things, I’ve had a little search but nothing’s...

Hi, so I'm in the process of making fleece bedding. I want to make the ones where you sandwich the absorbent material inbetween two layers of fleece so it's easy to change and wash altogether. I have heard that mattress covers are a good option, would you all agree? And can someone recommend...

so i was thinking of using towels under the fleece as they seem like they do a good job. however i’m concerned that they will smell easily, considering there isn’t much airflow between the layers? and i also feel like towels would take a while to dry. should i put towels, then puppy pads, then...
