Cleaning Preferred Bedding

How many pigs do you have?

I go through once a day and use a glove to pick up the poops (i hate touching the juicy ones, lol!). I just sweep them with my hand into a pile and get most of it. I bring treats for my piggies and I give them treats while I do it! They hop around while I clean because they know they get treats while I'm there. So I combine play time with poop time and I honestly enjoy it.

Don't worry about hay on the fleece, the pigs sure don't mind. they love that stuff. I have two hay feeders in my cage and they make a bit of a hay mess on the fleece aroudn them but I just leave that until the once/week cleaning. then I take the fleece out and shake it in the yard really well before I wash it.

I use a small hand held vacuum cleaner to sweep up the poos and even the small bits of hay laying around. I actually have a kitchen area though that I use paper bedding in that I spot clean every other day then do a full clean with the full weekly clean of the fleece. It keeps most of the hay off the fleece area but what does get on there I can get up with the hand vac. I use the black and Decker Flex hand vac that has a lithium battery and can last days without being charged. It is a bit pricey but well worth it I think as it comes with a floor head attachment so I can use it for my hardwood floors without getting out the big vacuum to keep my house clean
