Wood Pellet Or Cage Liners?

[hananhlou980]

Hi just made up my first c and c cage for my first pair of guinea pigs, I was planning on using cage liners to cover the entire cage but after reading up I'm now debating using wood pellets with a layer if fleece on the top. Opinions on both please thanks!

That sounds like a good idea, to have the wood pellets as an absorbent layer under the fleece. The fleece would probably feel a bit lumpy under their feet though! Cage liners would be a lot easier to clean out. A lot of us on here use cage liners, or fleece with towels underneath.

I love wood pellets. The best of odor control compared to all the bedding I've tried (and I've tried almost everything safe to guinea pigs, except the ones that are only available in UK).

This link has very good info on using wood pellets with fleece.

I use fleece over towels. Any sort of bedding like wood shavings or paper bedding is a disaster to clean up and so completely unnecessary for an indoor enclosure. Just do away with it entirely unless using a vacuum cleaner is one of your all-time favourite activities.
