New Born Pup
Hello! Hopefully I am posting this in the correct spot. But I had decided to try fleece bedding with my two new guinea pigs, since i saw people using them and it seemed like a more money saving option in the long run. But now i have run into a problem. Literally on the same day that we change the bedding to a new clean fleece, it starts to smell at the end of the day. I spot clean and everything, but it leaves so bad stains and odour because of the pee. I don’t know if I am doing something wrong, since this is the first time I am using them. I do place puppy training pads under the fleece just incase to absorb any excess liquid. One of the fleece beddings has been ruined since the staining of the mix of pee and poop in one place won’t come out anymore . And one of the guinea pigs loves to pee in his house so he tends to lay in his own pee stain, which makes him stinky and wet, and i can imagine its not a good feeling for him .
I was thinking on going back to the regular wood shavings bedding, but since the 10L bag of it in my country costs at least 10 euros and it takes all of that bag to fill one cage, I was wondering if there was something i was doing wrong with the fleece, so I could change that and possibly stick to the fleece. And because my guinea pigs had a pretty bad fight at some point they are being separated into different cages which means i would need two of those bags of bedding to clean both of them. It would cost around 80€ a month just for bedding. So I was just wondering if there was anything that I was doing wrong with taking care of the fleece bedding, or I just need to switch to the old bedding method - woodshavings.
