Garden Frost Protection Fleece - An Option For Bedding Or No Go?

[Zo75]

Hi, I'm fairly new to piggies, I have two girls who are 13 weeks old. I've had them for a couple of weeks. I started with Fibre Chip bedding but didn't like that so bought a big bale of 'AubiChick' which is more finely chopped Aubiose. However I quickly noticed that my girls liked to wipe their bums after having a wee and got the AubiChick in their private parts :/ I removed it for them and then bought a bale of Fitch bedding but I'm finding this more smelly and the bale is going down very quickly. I'm considering changing to fleece but no one wants to buy my bale of AubiChick and I'd like to use it so was considering the possibility of using it as an absorbent layer but covering it with fleece or something else to stop it being right against my girls privates! My husband just suggested Frost Protection Fleece Wilko Get Gardening Protection Fleece 1.5mx8m. I see it's made of polypropylene - but then fleece material is also made from plastic so would this be ok as a disposable option to cover the AubiChick just till I use up the bale? Obviously it would be no good if they chewed it but then I guess the same applies to fleece material? Any help or other suggestions on how to use the AubiChick up would be gratefully received. Many thanks

OK seems I got the wrong end of the the stick - my hubby meant to use the frost protection fleece on top of the AubiChick but under a fleece blanket, so just to stop the fleece picking up the bits of AubiChick but the piggies wouldn't be walking on the frost protection fleece. Would that be ok? :/

i would think the aubichick would stick to the fleece,can you buy bale of other bedding eg hay,aubiose ,bliss to place over the top of the aubichick as the particles in these products are bigger less likely to end up in odd places,ive ordered a bale of aubichick as it seems softer than aubiose,but all my piggies are adults.i like megasorb,i use it under a layer of flax/or bliss bedding to increase the absorbency.
