Should I?

Well guineapigs will pee and poop on the fleece you just every few hours or so have to hand vac the poos and then for fleece I believe have to wash it once a week and whatever u have under it(puppy pads/towels). I use shavings but...its whatever is easier for you. Just make sure with shavings it is kiln-dried pine or aspen.

I only have to vacuum up poop once a day. Twice on a poopy day. lol

I wash once a week. You will need to put an absorbent layer under it however or it will DEFINITELY stink.

I just switched to fleece and I will never go back to care fresh. I went one week with no smell at all. I use a thick layer of newspaper, one layer of towels and one layer of fleece. Vacuum the poos daily (or use a dust pan and sweep them up). Easy and costs a bunch less!

I love using fleece. If you have any questions let me know. I have tried several different setups and have found one that works for me.

There is more to fleece bedding than just a piece of fleece. It is a "fleece system".
The pigs are going to pee and poop on it, you have to maintain it by sweeping poops up once or twice a day, and there needs to be absorbent layers beneath the fleece to soak up the urine. See this link:

Hi Bertha,
I just started using fleece a few weeks ago, I for the first week or so (actually I couldn't let it go a week, more like 4 days) it did smell. However I think this is because I hadn't washed my fleece first, so it wasn't really doing its job. I've noticed such a difference since I washed it. I'm still kind of picky and wash every 4 or 5 days, but it doesn't smell one bit.

You don't really have to sweep/vac poos more than once a day unless you are just really anal about seeing them on the fleece. I only sweep at night right after I give them their bedtime veggies. I went 2 weeks once (just to see) without washing my fleece and really didn't smell anything unless I had my nose right down by the fleece. The way I had my cage, I actually had to stick my head in, so I did get a whif every night.

Just be sure to wash your fleece first. Mine took 8 washings to get it to wick. And don't use fabric softener. I use towels under my fleece.

I really love the fleece. It is just so much cleaner, easier to care for, and after the initial cost of the fleece and towels, cheaper.

Good luck with it.

I am thinking of changing to fleece, so I appreciate the experience of those who have used both the traditional bedding types (Aspen/Carefresh etc) and fleece. I am looking for more feedback on this topic. I have only had my piggies for a short time and I am already sick of the mess the Aspen bedding is making all over my house. Also, cleaning out the cage was a HUGE mess. I had bedding all over me and the floor, so I am hoping fleece is the answer. I would appreciate even more input from those with experience using fleece!! Thank you!

hiya, im thinking of using fleece in my cage too, i havent got mine yet but im planning for when i rescue-adopt them in april, will tell you what happens.

Good luck
