Re: Fleece & Mattress Pads

Everything seems about right here. if you feel the mattress pads might be a little thin, it's up to you if you wanted to add some more. I Use towels under mine and It seems just fine to me, But it's up to you!! And I know the fleece can seem like a mini fortune, However, I Find it the most Economical! I just started hand washing mine because of the costly Washings and Dryings in my complex. But Make sure that you have A "Kitchen area" For the potty, and foods and Drinks, It will help keep down on the changing of the fleece. And If you allergic to Aspen You could try using Carefresh, I was using that for a while and ... Yes again it's expensive, But I feel ya on the whole allergy thing!!

As to quarantine Def. Three weeks and the minimum. You see... I was kinda dumb when I introduced my piggies, I figured that all would be well... Turned out my new addition may have only been a few weeks but he carried a lot of little illnesses. Which made my other piggie sick. And vet bills aren't cheep. So please keep them separate! Oh!! And also, Make sure you handle your new piggie either with an apron on or just handle him last to prevent "cross contamination" ( ha ha ha...) I always have a seperate cage just incase things don't work out, or if there is an illness that develops.. I like to call it a Hospital Cage, and basically everyone else does too!!

I know i was worried with Fleece when I started out, but my piggies, and my pocket book just love it!!


Happy Trails!
