Instead of stuffing on this inside of it...

Thats a good idea!
I think it would work.
Let me know how it turns out.

The major problem with using carefresh as stuffing would be that you wouldn't be able to wash the bed. I don't know about your pigs, but mine sure like to pee in their beds.

Carefresh isn't washable. What about old nylon stockings. I remember them being used as pillow stuffing in my younger years.

That is true I guess about washing. She does like to pee in her cozies. Darn! Nylon stockings like knee highs/pantyhose?

I know Walmart has stuffing in bags. OR if you have and old pillow laying around (I change mine out every 6 months), why not just use the stuffing from that.

This way it's 100% washable where Carefresh (being made of paper) isn't.

Why not use old towels or a piece of mattress pad? Those are what most people use under their fleece, and should work fine for a cozy.

Then safety pin it closed, and change it out when you get stuffing.

I would NOT use a safety pin with guinea pigs. Everyone on this board is well aware that they like to chew, so the safety pin could become extremely dangerous. I am aware that you are excited to get the project done and give the cozy to the pigs, but if the above stated ideas are not feasible for you, then I would just wait. : )

I would never put a safety pin in it!! Haha thanks for the idea though.

It is snowing like no other here and my mom doesn't want to drive to Jo-Ann's so I think I am going to sew as much as I can of it and then when i get the stuffing I can stuff it.

I have a LOT of extra fleece, so maybe I could cut that up, but I think old towels is an even better idea. I have taken over all the towels. I use a bunch for each cage cleaning and now I'm ripping them up. Haha!

Okay, I was just saying close it temporarily.

Yeah, but even it is temporary, it is still extremely dangerous. The temporary factor does not matter.
