New Born Pup
Hi I'm a new piggy mummy to 2 boys who i got 2 days ago and have brought mats for their cage i have just gone to give a clean and they are quiet damp. Can i ask what do you prefer for yoir piggies shavings or mats? TIA
Thank you for your advice, i got them from amazon and no didnt wash them first . I have seen people using bathmats so will try them.Congratulations on getting your piggies. I am a big fan of mats. When I first got some I made the mistake of getting cheap ones, they are useless. Did you wash yours a few times first? This needs to be done so they wick away the moisture. Also most of us fleece fans use some bath mats/ pee pads in areas where they pee more and change these every day or two.
Thank youWhen you wash them, you don't use fabric conditioner. Putting white vinegar in the conditioner compartment helps to keep them soft. Also you will want to buy a hand brush with silicone bristles they are better for getting the hay off off the mats and a pet wash bag because you will always find hay in your washing machine otherwise.
Yes! I didn't make it clear. I use the bathmats over the main fleeces.piggies find them comfortable too. Hello Sir George.....welcome to the forum
You also need a good absorbent layer underneath - puppy pads work well
