Flat fleece?

How do you guys get your fleece so flat and bump-less. My pig always moves the fleece around and goes under it?

Re: Flat fleece?

I stretch mine out under the cage and have the weight of the cage hold it down. My set up isn't standard C&C though.

Though this is the origional set up it's been de cluttered since then since the hidey in the front was far too huge (its rabbit sized, about 5 pigs could fit into it and still have space!) and the boxes took up too much room so they have towel tents on the sides now.

Re: Flat fleece?

I overlap the fleece over the sides of the coroplast and use those large paper clip/binder things to clip it down. Not sure if I explained that right..does that make sense?

Yup, makes sense. But my fleece isnt big enough its measured just for the bottom of the coro.

Re: Flat fleece?

I sewn mine to a mattress pad. This makes it easier to put in the cage and it's quite heavy so the pigs don't dig it up.

Before my pigs' "grandma" got their piggie bedspreads made, what I did was cut an extra piece of coroplast to fit flat on the floor of the bottom of the coroplast "box," and I used binder clips to clip my fleece (and toweling) to that.
