Definitely helps. Each evening I lift the corners to shake the poo to the middle and use a mini dustpan to scoop it up. Hay is generally kept in a plastic dog bed at one end of the cage so mess is contained and easy to tip away.
They are expensive but it is a one off cost so cheaper in the long run
Ziggy will give you a quote... She's very helpful and will happily answer queries.
Yes I’ve got fleece and towels that I keep re-using. I’ve also spent a fortune on pee-pads for the more “used” areas of the cage. It’s Just such a faff getting the towels folded to the right size and the fleece in the right position on cage clean day.
Thank you. You are right I should make some enquires!
Oh I wish I knew how to operate a sewing machine; let alone owning one
I would if I didn't have 5 kids under my feet, plus I can just about manage to thread a needle without a meltdown let alone working a machine
. Maybe a goal to work toward.
Lol busy household then! I have heard good things about ziggies xI would if I didn't have 5 kids under my feet, plus I can just about manage to thread a needle without a meltdown let alone working a machine
This is what I love about Ziggy. I have ALWAYS got a reply within 15 to 30 mins of sending a message, regardless of what day it was (of course not out of hours at night). She is very accommodating. The first time I inquired from her, I think I kept on changing the sizes but she always reply no matter what. Very understanding. Even if she won't be able to do any custom orders for some reason, she won't leave you hanging with a non-response.I've not got a full size cage liner from Ziggy but I did get 2 custom size pee pads to go on the top floor of my 2-storey wooden piggy castle house! Not used them yet they only came today but I was very impressed how quickly my email was answered (within half an hour, on a sunday!) and custom made sizes no problem at all
Pampered Piggies are good too, we just got a new cage liner from there, though its rather thick and the washing machine struggled a bit. But I've got some quite good smaller ones off Ebay, from Atalas and Cozy Pets- they are very waterproof on the back and a lot cheaper but they only do pre-made smaller sizes, but actually putting two 2x3 fleeces in a bigger C&C is easier for brushing down and for the washing machine. And we have some Vetfleece too which I used to love until getting a longer haired piggy who sheds a lot, Vetfleece is like fake fur and a pain to brush Blodwen's lovely long fur off!
I haven’t sewn mine. If I put in pads that fit they disappear under them. So I have a piece of fleece over a loose absorbent layer and pinned to the cage with more safety pins than I thought possible. And still they go under. It’s a constant battle with my two!Oh I wish I knew how to operate a sewing machine; let alone owning one
Haha little monkeys. Yes that’s what I do at the moment. I have to be very strategic about how I fold it or they destroy it. They are fortunately leaving the fleece alone at the minute but gnawing through the correx base instead!
