The Life Of Sheldon

[QueenCupcake]

Yeah I don't understand the scoring part, that's confusing to me. Good news though my mom said she would contribute money to getting Sheldon a new cage and a friend!

Tagging @CaymanCavy he can explain scoring.

@Wiebke whatcha think?

Here is a pic of the cage as it is now. I made it a 2x5 with a loft. But it's gonna change in the next couple of weeks. I added some curtains to help filter the sun in the morning.

It's adorable. What do you use under your fleece for bedding?

 

[KittyandNancy]

Just bath towels two layers in most spots and puppy pads under that.

 

[QueenCupcake]

Does that work well?

 

[KittyandNancy]

Does that work well?

Yep for me it does. I change everything once every 6-7 days, but I don't change the pee pads unless they have pee stains on them which they usually don't.

 

[QueenCupcake]

Okay. I ask because I use towel, puppy pads, car fresh, and then towel and fleece on top and I have to change the top towel every 3 or 4 days because it gets gross and smelly on one end. I put an extra puppy pad under the end he uses to potty and that seems to help. I guess wiebke has been busy...

I personally don't like that carefresh. I don't think it does good odor control at all. I use this stuff from petco it works awesome. I only use it in the litter pans and I NEVER smell them at all and it's cheaper than carefresh too, me thinks.

It's called planet petco crumbled paper bedding.

 

[QueenCupcake]

I actually use critter care paper bedding and it works great but I didn't know if you would know what I meant so I used a common name for it. The man and I just got done rearranging our room for the new cage! So excited!

 

[QueenCupcake]

I have decided to get the jumbo cage which is 6x2 so that if they don't get along or fight I can put the divider down the middle and they can each have a 2x3 cage and be neighbors

 

[KittyandNancy]

That sounds like an AWESOME idea! So excited can't wait to see it.

 

[QueenCupcake]

I am excited too! Guess what?!? Just talked to my local pet store and they have quarantined pigs! And get vet care for any sick pig
