Question Can Mom stay on fleece?

Hi! Skittles is going to have babies hopefully any day now. She is huge! Anyway, can I keep her on fleece? I keep reading that the eat bedding and all to remove any scent from the area from bleeding and such. Will she try to eat the fleece? I just cleaned the cage but am now worried that I should have run out and gotten some Aspen for bedding. I hate using shavings but if I have to, I will. Any suggestions?

You could make like a big nest box with shavings so she can have the babies over there and safely clean it up. Just like a bigger version of a litter box.

That's a great idea, thanks! I have some cardboard boxes, maybe I'll make a large tray to hold the shavings and put her house in it.

Re: Can Mom stay on fleece?

OK. So I cut up a box and filled it with Orchard Grass with her hidey house and a cozy bed. I also took a Priority mail box and filled it with hay too. She likes the other box. I didn't have any shavings since I use Wood Pellets in the litter box and Fleece for the floor of the cages.

I think she's got a nice comfy setup there :-)
