So would this type of fleece be sutible for my piggies would it absorb everything? I'm going to put two layers of these fleece balnkets and news paper under.

Hi from what I can see, the fleece you've chosen looks fine it isn't the fleece that absorbs the moisture - the fleece wicks the moisture away to the absorbent layer underneath, keeping the top of the fleece dry. Newspaper isn't enough unfortunately - I use newspaper then towels, then double fleece. I hope this helps!

So if i put two layers of this in there cage would it be enough to put towels under it?

I find towels work well, yes it's important to wash the fleece 3 times before use too (without fabric conditioner!) as this breaks the waterproof seal so the fleece will wick.

Good advice from @katie-elizabeth

I prefer towels too.

And a capful white vinegar is useful to remove the wee stains.

So when you wash it do you wash it at 40 degrees with one cap of white vinegar?

No, 60 degrees, non bio detergent, and a capful of vinegar.
