I want to try fleece... I have a huge red fleece throw (£2 from primark) that I could cut up to use? would this work or does it have to be the proper stuff?

I can probably make 5/6 changes worth with this throw

I was thinking of putting newspaper under and fleece on top then the litter tray (which he is quite good at using!) in the corner


Is this right? I cant stretch to vet bed at the mo

MM

ETA: Why does P R O B (short for probably) get starred out?!
 
that should be fine i bought some fleece and then found a fleece blanket of daughters that i use to cuddle them with and put on floor they hide under it or fold it up and put in the bedroom when others in wash i have had no probs with mine

Sounds just fine, you don't need to buy specifically cut fleece for the piggies. As long as it's polyester, it's the right stuff.

Newspaper on it's own doesn't work as efectively as towels under the fleece. The more absorbant the under-bedding, the better. If you can get some cheap bath towels that would increase the chances of fleece working out for you. (I bought the Value towels from Tesco, they are low quality but it works perfectly for the piggies, it does the job!)

The shortened version of probably counts as chat speak, which is why it gets starred out. :)
 
I have on my c&c cage, lino then 2 or 3 layers of towels then fleece over the top, at the minute it has 5 pigs in and I only need to change it every 4-5 days but do hoover or brush droppings up once if not twice a day :)
 
Hes on fleece! I found two old towels and an old fleece baby blanket from when the kids were babies just to give it a whirl before I cut up the big throw :))

He seems to like it and has been zooming about and popping already! Hopefully it smells better than the peed on newspapers and hay! He lives in the front room so I dont want it honking of piggy pee

I cant wait to kit out the new cage now in prep for getting him a new pal!
