what is the difference between vetbed and fleece?

[bekkie]

i understand they are basically the same but for some reason more people are for vetbed. soo....whats the big difference?
what makes vetbed worth the extra moneys?

i'm thinking about using some but fleece is a much cheaper option and i guess i wanted to know what the major difference is.

also could i use it outdoors? in a nice wee bedroom? or would the urine get through and rot the wood? i am perfectly happy with just hay and newspaper but i am always looking into new ideas you see. and thinking about indoors housing sometime in the future you know?

I think you will find for an outdoor hutch that you need hay to keep them cosy and getting the hay off both fleece and vetbed a bit of a palaver. Both fleece and vet bed allow the urine to run through so you will still require something absorbent underneath to protect your hutch. Might also be worthwhile getting an offcut of lino and protecting the floor of the whole hutch! You can always try the fleece option and see what you think before committing to vetbed.

hi. yeah I'm not sure about using it in the hutch. but I'm wondering for future reference like using it for indoors how different it is from vetbed. is it just because it lasts longer?

because i dont see why people would pay so much more for vetbed if you could just get fleece?

I'm probably sounding really ignorant lol! i havent seen vetbed before so i dont really know how different it is.
