Where to buy lots of cheap fleece?

[jazz1992]

So Iv decided to change to fleece, as I have a 3x4 cage and using shavings is rather expensive & because Iv had to put diferant correx together and im not very good at d.iy either the shavings get everywhere and makes alot of mess.
Does anywhere no of anywhere that sells cheap fleece?
thanks.

Ok so I found some old towels in the arring cupboard, so now there cage had a big towel covering the cage. Iv taken out the corex, so basically its just grids and a towel in the middle.
Will that be ok?

I would definately keep the correx and put fleece and newspaper on top of it - the urine will soak through the towels onto the floor and damage your floor but more importantly your guineas feet are likely to get caught through the towel and stuck in the wire. Good quality fleece will draw the liquid through (like a nappy) to the paper underneath, whereas towels will remain wet and may cause urine scald with the piggy having to lie or run on soaked bedding.

The cheapest place I've found Pupps ProFleece is on eBay with this seller:
Items for Sale by dogtastic_tamara0204 it's proper fleece not the cheap knockoff and she delivers next day.

And just fr now, if i put down newspaper underneath. will it be ok?

Yes, that's the one, also ProFleece Pet Products. DOG CAGES UK, Profleece Veterinary Bedding Rolls. Dog Cage Online Factory Shop

To be honest if it was me, I would keep the correx if you still have it with newspaper and hay until you can get the fleece sorted - lino is also good, you may be able to get some cheap offcuts from your local carpet shop.

If they are on the floor you will need the lip from the correx to prevent drafts giving them respiratory infections in the future (or cold feet!)

Although there are a lot of chain stores that sell fleece I find it cheaper in small shops or stalls.
Many market stalls have a fabric stall, and most sell a variety of types/ colours of fleece. Alternatively, if you have an area near you with a high Asian / Indian population try checking out their local shops. Living in Beds I usually buy fabric from Bury Park in Luton - loads of fabric shops and great prices.

So at the moment Iv got 2 towels covering there cage and some newspaper underneath. I spot clean it everyday but if they poop loads i just pick them up whenever. Sometime in the next week ill be ordering some fleece, so then Ill put fleece in the cage, then towels underneath the fleece and then newspaper underneath the towels.

Ikea perhaps. The fleece blankets are only a couple of quid.

[bettykiddospigs]

Bolton fabrics.

I agree with everyone above. Wilko, Argos and Ikea are good places to check. However, not all local Wilko's stock fleece (mine doesn't).

Here's a link to some fleece at Argos (£12.99 - buy one get one free):

Buy Satin Edge Fleece Throw - Chocolate. at Argos.co.uk - Your Online Shop for .

However, I just bought a large cream fleece for £3.95 from Poundstretcher. My cage is 2 x 4 with 6 inch correx up the sides, and the fleece goes right up the edges so I can tuck it. Perfect and cheap!
