They were still in the carrier, I'll take some pics of them over next few days. I'm not sure what I think yet. Took me a while this evening to spot clean, messy buggers. I am noticing the smell, or perhaps it's be being paranoid about it smelling. I'll see how it goes :)
 
Loving the fleece in the hutch. And I hope your wee dog is ok. He's so cute, I love terriers.

Did you wash your fleeces? To wick them, I forgot with the first hutch change :) ive still got my boys camping in the living room it's been 4 days now and I honestly can hardly smell anything different :)
@katie-elizabeth still not smelly Hun :tu:
 
My 2 are on fleece and I can hardly smell anything either. Maybe it's just my sense of smell. Lol.

This Posted twice for some odd reason sorry :(
 
Yeah I've washed them, followed everything to the letter. It is going to take some getting used to I think. I love the look, perhaps I'm just being paranoid and thinking there is a smell when there isn't lol x

Mine smell of washing liquid for a few days then have a very mild smell but only close up not when you walk in the room x
 
I think i'm going to get some vinager to add to the washes with mine, or a touch of zaflora :)
 
I've actually started to charge my hoover yesterday and it worked well. But the stupid thing has to be charged. So the dustpan and brush is for me!
 
I think i'll stick mine on charge overnight and see if it makes any difference, poxy bloomin thing!
 
So, the hoover on full charge certainly helps for spot cleaning. I'm getting used to me fleece. Changing everything every 3 days to keep the smell down. I've changed from puppy pads to towels and find them a lot better. I've installed a 'hay bar' section with have high sided plastic boxes with a doorway and their hay holders in so no hay goes on the fleece which is a lot easier for cleaning. The piggies are using their litter trays a lot but are still using the rest of the hutch too. They hardly do anything outside of the hutch though, I've not had to change the fleeces or pads in the outside section yet :)
 
Glad to hear your liking the fleece Ruth, I bet you have noticed the lack of mess that comes with fleece ...no more shavings outside the piggy room :)
I use puppy pads in the area they piddle a lot in a lot! I cut each pad into three long strips and they go in those areas under the newspaper.
:) I agree towels are so much better and cheaper than replacement pads :)
 
Hi Ruth, I have a strip of puppy pad under the newspaper at the top of the stairs as it's a favourite tiddle place, I came down this morning to find they had ransacked the upstairs of their hutch...looked like they had be burgled :) they had chewed the pad too, thankfully they are full of beans and no worse for doing so, they are typical teenage boys....messy!
 
Oz's results have come back from his second round of urine tests and he's got an infection, so it's antibiotics. So glad it's nothing worse. Thankyou to everything for the positive thoughts :)

Poor Oz, I hope he recovers soon. At least it's nothing too serious.
xx
 
Thankyou :) I'm glad it's nothing worse, just wish it had shown up on his first round of tests but oh well it's hopefully sorted now.
