Securing Fleece

[Capron09]

Hello Everyone! What a great site you all have here! I have a male guine pig and I have been playing with bedding ideas and cage set ups for a year! I want to go back to fleece as I have to bring my lil guy back inside the house and everyone here is allergic to the Aspen shavings! When i use fleece the piggies like to burrow under it no matter what stuff I put inside. I want to secure that fleece to the side walls or bottom of an actual cage with a plastic base. I have tried previously gluing velcro to the fleece, then gluing the velcro to the COROPLAST bottom but the glue comes right off the coroplast. I would like to try this method on the plastic cage base but am affrais the same thing will happen. When i had teh coroplast bottom, I cut holes all around the base and then slit my fleece and made tie strings all the way around to keep it down. That was a very difficult chore! Took forever to tie and untie all that. Any advice how to keep that fleece down. I have tried wood, bricks and tile and they still get under it!

Well THNAK YOU TO MEMEBER BAILEY!

I was looking through photos and saw that she/he put the fleece in, then put the cage top ontop of the fleece so that the fleece over runs the side. I NEVER thought of that! I was being tooo complex!

Still looking for other ideas but I think that is a great one. My saving Grace! LOL Thank you! Thank you!

Have you tried laying the fleece in the bottom (plastic) part of the cage with enough to go over the sides, then putting the wire frame on top and clipping it together, so that the fleece is trapped between the 2 parts?
