Freela
Senior Guinea Pig
I have always used paper bedding, but am considering changing to fleece both as a cost-saving mechanism and because my 6+ pig, Leela, will sometimes sit in pee and end up with a wet bottom. She also has a cyst on her bottom area that sits lower and is prone to getting wet/dirty. At her age, we really don't want to do surgery for her cyst and the vet agrees, so keeping it clean/comfortable is a priority. I am wondering if her undercarriage would stay cleaner on the fleece. Anyone have any experience in this regard? I don't want to switch over if she will be getting wetter sitting on fleece, but I'm thinking it may be better for the skin on her underside as well as saving me some money.
