currently in my cc cage i use wood shavings but i know they arent the best in terms of the waste it produces and the cost. they also arent great for the piggies either.
id love to use fleece but id need alot of it to fill my huge cage. I'm also inexperienced with it and i know that it takes alot of looking after and it can get quite smelly unless its changed alot.
one of the issues with other types of flooring is cost. the wood shavings i get are good quality but because of my dads work i can get them for a much much lower price than they are normally sold for (one of the reasons i chose it to begin with) but i HATE the mess and the look of it and the smell. i need something else, preferably something that i dont have to continuously buy more of or something high maintenance.
i had the idea from my mum to use squares of tightly knitted wool as only small parts of the cage (like the corners they usually pee in) would have to be changed more than weekly and the dropping would have to be scooped up daily. with this i wouldnt have to wash huge sheets of fleece more than weekly to avoid the smell. i worry that their claws would get caught though...
ive read so many threads on bedding but i have no clue! any help would be appreciated
