Bedding

[Guinealuvrgirl]

I am wondering why I see so much fleece for cages now. I tryed changing my c&c cage and using fleece instead last night loved the idea and their paws were full of poo and so was the entire blanket I used. I would love to find something for bedding besides the stuff I was using(recycled bedding) that dosent have an intense odor to it(like some bedding does) anyone have any suggestions?

Maybe were you using the fleece wrong? Was it wicking? What did you have as underbedding?

Hello, I was using 1 reg thin fleece on top and another thicker fleece on bottom. I thought it looked so pretty till this morning,..when there was poo everywhere. I found another thread for this same thing and think I am going to get some carefresh instead. The fleece looks great but alot more maintance it seems than reg bedding,.I was thinking about maybe doing it half ,half on bottom. I will leave the fleece on top(like it better).

Thats the problem, you were using the fleece wrong. You should had had 1 layer of fleece and then 3-4 layers of an underbedding that is absorbant such as towels. Also if it was new fleece it would had needed to be washed & dryed 3-4 times before it would work, also it would had needed to be washed without fabric softener. Have you read through this? http://www.guineapigcages.com/forum/...ect-study.html

Also, there is going to be poo everywhere unless you litter train your piggy which is near impossible. You just have to scoop it out everyday.

You have to scoop/vacuum out poop everyday. EVERYDAY. Preferably twice a day.

I prefer seeing the poops (on fleece) so I know it needs cleaning, instead of it hiding in shaving etc.
