Bedding Amount Of Aspen/Kiln Dried - Guinea Pig Cages, Care, Store, Photos of Guinea Pigs and More Forum!

I am resolutely switching from fleece to aspen or kiln dried pine in all my cavy cages, and I had a question for those out there that are already using it:

How far do the large bags (7000 cu. in) go? I've got eight 4x2's to fill, and I'm trying to ballpark how many bags I would need to cover them to a nice depth. I've done the math, but I'd love some real life corroboration as well.

Thanks!

Can I ask why? I am just curious what problems you are having with fleece?

The maintenance is overwhelming with so many cages, and time is coming at a premium because I've had to take a second job, so what little time I have with the cavies is better spent on floor time and cuddles than vacuuming upteen times a day to combat smell issues.

I'm also trying to reduce laundry loads and the associated energy costs.
