Vixen, I like your water dish idea. How does it work for your "kids"? Fleece can be difficult to get to lie smoothly, depending on what you have under it, but that doesn't affect its effectiveness. Perhaps placing something around the edges (bricks or half bricks, wooden dowels or such) will weigh it down enough to keep the piggies from "placing" poos underneath it. Remember, these are piggies and sometimes I think the name is incredibly appropriate, as they are NOT neat at all. Their messiness seems to bother us humans more than it bothers the piggies. Also, this is good time of year to pick up beach towels at WalMart, etc., if you have access to something of the sort. Even a single towel would work better than newspaper. Best wishes on your finding a solution.
PS- Remember NOT to use fabric softener in the washer or dryer and to add vinegar the the rinse water for your fleece.
