This is not a silly question,I wondered the same when I first started using vetbeds.I put my vetbeds on top of a layer of newspaper.Sometimes I put a layer of hay on top,depends on the reason I am using the fleece.If it is for a piggy with a wound,sore pads or sore skin,I use the vetbed with nothing on top..If the pig is just frail or elderly,they like some hay to burrow in.
 
A healthy youngster (if kept indoors) should not need a vetbed,.Newspaper and hay should be sufficient.If the nighttime temp.drops in the winter he/she would appreciate a vetbed for extra warmth(unless you can keep the heating on all night!).
 
oh ok thats great :) yes we have storage heaters so on the winter they are on all the time at night :) i am using wood shavings and hay at the moment and also shredded paper and carefresh in the bedroom area :)

thanks again mary
