okay so I have been doing this all wrong and basically exhausting myself. I have six piggies. We built them a condo but because the males outweigh the females I have to seperate them. I now have four males and two females and five cages. I have put baling soda, then cardboard then litter on their bathroom areas. The litter I have tried has ranged from recycled paper which Tae got an upper respitory infection from he is fine now. Hay, which my daughter is allergic to (they eat alfalfa instead), pine which my husband is allergic to, corn which the piggies threw at me cause it hurt their feet (mine too) orange peels that lasted maybe two days and now I am using reptile litter which is crushed walnut shells. It is so expensive and uck is the best word to describe this new situation. What is this fleece thing going on and what is this puppy pad and what am I doing wrong do I buy sheets of fleece, is this expensive, do you wash it or do you buy new is this going to cost me too much with all my pigges...someone help me please...we have a horrific odor, the piggies are miserable and my arms hurt from cleaning all the cages so often...I want everyone, warm, comfy, clean and odorless...is there a pig lover out there that can help me, please write me at
