Can anyone link me up with any good sites for waterproof, fleece cage liners for a 5x2 C&C cage please?
 
I wouldn't advise going for a full 5x2 liner. They're bigger and much bulkier in the machine - multiple smaller liners also help out with a cage clean, so you don't have to swap out everything at once if not everything needs washing.

Ahhhhh I get you. So what size smaller ones would you recommend to fit?

Sorry, I know I sound really dumb.

I made some 4x2 liners for my 6x2. Bit of a pain to wash and dry. 3x2 and 2x2 have been most practical plus bobble mats which dry really quickly. I‘ve found Zorb filled liners are absorbent but not too bulky.

I'm useless with a sewing machine, my mum in the other hand....... "muuuuum" 😂

So if I got 2 3 x 2 and 2 2 x 2 that'll give me full coverage and a clean set for changeover day.

I have a 5x2 (or maybe 6x2, I don't remember), a 4x2, a 1x2, a 1x1, and two 3x2 - a good chunk of those were given to me, but the 3x2 are what I'd recommend. They're small enough they don't take up an entire machine load by themselves, but they're not too unwieldy and they'll fit into any decent cage.
 
In our 5x2 area we usually have two 3x2 fleeces overlapped a bit. Thats quite helpful in many ways because two 3x2 fleeces balance in the washing machine to spin properly, also most fleece cage liners shrink a bit/crinkle at the edges after a few hot washes- a once a month hot wash at 60 degrees as a minimum is usually needed to kill bacteria and remove stubborn pee stains and odours, and after any illness or suspected mites or lice or new pigs joining, a hot wash is always a good hygiene measure. And with 3x2's you can mix and match, just change one end of the cage if it is noticeably wet or poopy, or just shove the piggies onto the other end of the cage while you quickly shake the poops off!
 
I use a 2x4 with a noodle rug to cover the rest of the space and slightly overlap the 2x4. Guinea dads
