Hello,
I am recently new to this site. We have had our c&c cage since Sunday and had sawdust/wood chippings in the cage but this really smelt. The whole house smelled like a guinea pig cage. I was considering fleece and this really made up my mind. Went out and bought fleece today - $12.99 from Lincraft which was enough to double over. I have two towels underneath - do you think this is enough? I bought a couple of fleece beanies cheaply from hot dollar and I have opened these out to make little cosies. The hats came with fleece scarves which I have put into their house for them to sleep on - do you think that is OK? They have a little kitchen - a hay rack with a tray underneath this filled litter suitable for small animals. I have got hay but they don't seem to eat it much. It is the only hay I can get from Petcare 2000 in Caringbah. It is pretty 'stalky' and quite dusty. I'm not sure where to get better hay - any pointers would be appreciated.
All in all they seem quite happy - they have been running around and jumping up in a funny sort of way and squeaking like they do. I am really happy to have changed to fleece - in the long run I think it is easier to clean and deal with.
Anyway, that's all for now. I'd appreciate any input on the above.
