Has anyone tried the absorbant liners that they make especially for small animal cages? i saw some at the store and wanted to see what everyone thought before i got them. i was thinking of using them underneath the bedding to catch any excess pee that wasnt caught in the bedding thought maybe it would help with the smell

Mine aren't from a pet store. Mine were made by someone. They are lap pads made with a waterproof material on the bottom, absorbant material for the filling and then fleece. I have 4 of them and put them under their pigloo and hidey house. I switch them out every couple days.

So do they help with the smell? are they a good idea?

thanks for the reply!!

They defintely help keep the fleece mattress underneath protected more and it seems to really help. Plus I use them when I have lap time.

Mine or hers?

From what i could see they were like a cotton type material like a puppy pad and they said you could cut them to the size of your cage.

Mine are made of "medical/veterinary grade waterproof barrier fabric" It is defintely not plastic...it is much softer than that.

So they're like Cage Diapers?

Mine aren't. Mine have the waterproof liner on the bottom, an absorbent layer of material in the middle and fleece on the top. They are sewn together into a square pad.
