Junior Guinea Pig
Hi all
two of the new girls arrive tomorrow and the third next weekend - am so excited! Its been over a year since I lost Roman and it has been weird without him.
Two things - I used to keep the boys on megazorb but having read so many things about fleece I am seriously thinking about giving it a go. So, if I use fleece, am I better off using disposable heavy duty puppy pads or washable incontinence bed pads underneath (lovely!) - not keen on using towels.
Secondly, it will be sometime during the week that I can get the fleece and the absorbent underlayer, so shall I line the cage with megazorb or medibed in the interim? I have both. I seem to remember megazorb being brilliantly absorbent but somewhat dusty, and medibed being less dusty but not so absorbent. I still have both because of the rest of the menagerie.
Oh and one other thing - would fleece keep them warm enough in the conservatory? they are coming from an unheated shed, although our conservatory has the chill kept off it by the small rad in the morning and evening for a few hours. They will have a house stuffed with some form of bedding as well - probably hay, although I remember poor old Roman getting a hay seed in his eye and so I shall worry no end about that. they have a hay rack etc.
Thanks for all your help
