I am considering switching to fleece (once Butterscotch gets better). I read the sticky thread and it answered just about everything except if guinea pigs will chew fleece. Butterscotch likes to chew my bed sheets old bed sheets, rags, and cardboard (I know cardboard is normal for guinea pigs to chew). So do guinea pigs chew fleece? Will Butterscotch? I was thinking I should try it out at floor time first. Would that be a good idea?

Most piggys dont chew the fleece but if he chews bedsheets and stuff he may, you'll never know untill you try.

Thank you, I guess I will get on layer of fleece for floor time. And if Butterscotch doesn't chew it I will use it as a bedding. This way the shavings won't drag all over the house. Thanks for the house.

if he likes chewing other stuff, it is most likely that he will chew the fleece too. But anyways buy cheep fleece and test it out... if he chews it go back to bedding

I think I will just stick to Aspen. Since she chews her cuddle-cup she most likely will chew the fleece. Thanks for all the advice though!
