    Help! Washing Fleece?!

    Hi My 3 pigs are normally outdoor pigs and I'm really excited that I'm now able to bring them indoors due to moving and there being more space. I've purchased my 6x2 c&c and my cage liners. HOWEVER, as the 6x2 liners are massive I am concerned that they are going to break my 8kg washing machine...

    Hay On Fleece

    Hi all! Things seems to be going pretty well since transitioning my two boys from shavings to fleece (which is good:yahoo:) but the hay seems to get all over the fleece! I know it's not a massive issue but it really bugs me, anyway of solving this, or will I have to bear it?

    Is My Fleece Wicked Yet ?

    Hello Piggie Lovers. I'm currently in the prep for switching over to fleece bedding as it really appeals to me. I've washed my fleece 3 times and I can't tell if it's been wicked or not. Last night tested a piece and it went right through. This morning tried again and it pools for a second...

    Fleece Bedding!

    Hi! I have owned piggies for a long time now and I want to try out fleece bedding, I have used wood shavings since I got them. My question is, what do you find the best to use under the fleece? I'm thinking of puppy pads + towels and then fleece on top. I know many of you use uhaul pads and...

    What's In Your Liners?

    Hello all! So, I haven't been a piggy slave for more than a month, but I'm already getting ready to try switching over to fleece bedding. I made my pigs' cage myself, but I'm upgrading next week to a C&C cage with a base, because they're experiencing the "predator-swooping-in-from-above" thing...

    So I've been debating whether I should house my 2 boars on fleece since it seems so popular (they are currently on wood shavings). I just need some info about the 'cleaning' of the fleece, if that makes sense. I am thinking about layering 3 big carpet/doormat things then some fleece on top...

    C&c Playpen?

    Hi. Ive ordered 20 c&c grids with connectors with the view to build a large indoor playpen for when the weather is too cold/wet to go in the outdoor run (which is ALL the time!) My question is: how hard will it be to put it up and take it down? This would be just the sides and no correx as...

    Smelly Cage!

    Hi everyone, I've been using fleece for my babies cage and I recently bought some new fleece. I recently got another piggy and my cage is starting to smell a little more? I'm not sure why. I was thinking of putting puppy pads underneath to soak up any pee? Or does anyone have any better...

    Hey! I've been caring for guinea pigs for a while, and also checking guinea pig forums for some time. It seems just about everybody loves fleece, with it being cheaper and supposedly easier to maintain. My pigs definitely prefer fleece. Now, I've tried that at least three times on separate...

    Fleece Bedding

    So, Ive heard from many places that fleece bedding for a guinea pig (esprcially in the Midwest cage, which I just set up) is amazing and makes clean up even easier. So, 1. Where the best place I can get it for cheap? 2. What's the best brand that's safe for my guinea pig?
