Can Anyone Help Me With Bedding Ideas?

Great to read your feedback. Just ordered a bale of Aubiose today which should be here on Tuesday next week. I'll only be using it for the litter trays and will try a puppy pad under the layer of Aubiose. I think it will last longer than the pellets I'm using. It was £18.70 with free delivery and that's for the 20kg bale so should work out much cheaper as well.

Thank you. Have you tried gjwtittmus? Cheapest I have found it x
 
Ok guys I'm trying something new. I loved the large areas with auboise, but full cleans on all 3 cages were taking me around 3 hours which for me was just too much. I went back to the smaller areas with puppy pads under and changing daily, but again these were working out quite expensive and sometimes the piggies would chew the pads. I got washable incontinence pads online and have put them down today. So far they are even quicker than the puppy pads as I don't need to cut them and try to tuck the plastic edges under. If they last longer than one day and the hay is easy to shake off them I think I've found my perfect solution to my hay areas. Fingers crossed! x

I know! Me too. I really hope this works for me. I like the idea of not having something I need to buy on a regular basis...as that's why I use fleece, but I also didn't want to not give them their hay areas. Hopefully they are up for the job! I'll keep you updated x

Thought I'd update this. So it's been 7 weeks and 5 days I'm still not finished with the first bale I ordered! Got about 1/8th of it left. That's really good going considering I use it in litter trays and at my maximum had 6 trays on the go, with 6 pigs. I usually only need to empty the trays every 3-4 days, sometimes scooping out very heavily soiled areas in between. I will definitely be sticking with Aubiose :)
 
Thought I’d update this! Washable incontinence pad didn’t work for me.....too hard to get the hay off. I eventually went back to puppy pads with a good layer of newspaper on top. After one day I would roll the newspaper with hay, replace with one layer of paper (puppy pad still under) and refil hay. Following day roll the lot up inc puppy pad, and start again. We then moved house, I had to sell my cages as they didn’t fit the new house, and had to start all over again 🤦🏼‍♀️ 😂 x
