Towel bedding
I recently switched over to towel bedding. We have 2 female pigs and a 2grid X 4grid C&C cage. What I do is put one of the Neat Sheets down first and drape the sheet over the sides of the coroplast to prevent hay,poop, etc. from getting on the bottom of the cage. Then I top with 3 towels. I also made a Coroplast litter box. They actually use the litter box quite a bit as I put it under the hay holder. I change the bedding about every 2-3 days since they are fairly good at peeing and pooping in box. It's very easy. I just fold/roll up the Neat Sheet, shake all towels and Neat Sheet outside and replace bedding with an extra set I have. Meanwhile, I wash the dirty towels so they're ready for next change.
My pigs love the towels. They never chew on them. I don't have the mess of wood shavings all over the floor either and it cuts WAY DOWN on the cost of buying pine/carefresh since I only use that for the small litter box. This may not work for everyone if your piggies chew on such things as towels. It actually only takes me about 10-15 min. to do cage change. No smell either.
