Fleece Blanket Ideas

[AutumnThePig]

Hi

I hope I’m posting this in the right section. I need some help with the cage liners for a chloroplast c&c cage. My pigs are on fleece with a litter box that has paper bedding for them. I got the chloroplast from guineapigcagesstore.com. However, I have one wall that covers the whole side of the c&c cage to prevent messes from getting on the other side. I’m concerned because I cannot fold the fleece blanket over the edge and use a clip to hold it together. My guinea pig keeps running under the blanket. There’s only a little section that cannot fold. I do have clips that hold the blanket for the other side of the cages.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can prevent my piggie from running under the blanket? I was thinking about adding another grid, to make a small square shape entrance and putting her hide out house underneath. I wanted to see other suggestions before doing that idea.

Please excuse the mess, I spot-cleaned the best I could before I took a picture!

Thank you ahead of time.

Haha I remember those days! I used to weigh the sides down with bowls of houses to try and stop Bella doing it. The little lump moving under the fleece desperately trying to find her way out to find the veggies...

Luckily now that I have a proper liner (from Ziggy’s piggies) it’s heavy enough that the pigs can’t go under it. I kind of miss it, it was always a giggle but it’s certainly more hygienic!

Smooth stones or ceramic tiles along the side you can clip might help.

I'll have to look into her fleece materials! Thank you

Do you know where I could buy something like that?

Smooth stones you could collect from a local river and wash them before putting them in the cage.

Ceramic tiles are always available at any local DIY or hardware store.
They usually have odd tiles or end of lines for next to nothing - I have several tiles and use them when it is hot for my piggies to lay on.

We hold our fleece liners down with wooden hidey houses and also with rosewood rabbit corner litter trays that clip onto the cage bars that I use as hay trays, like 1 heavy or clipped down thing in each corner... but the ready made fleece liners are padded and heavy enough to stay flat anyway usually.
