I'm using mine to make the girls' names on the wall above their cage.
Pictures when finished.

What have you used your fleece scraps for?

I'm going to sew all mine together and make a big patchwork-y blanket. :)

Practice sewing. I've also used them as stuffing for cuddle cups and other plushie things for their cage.

I either use them to make fleece forests or I just toss the smaller bits. I should start saving them up to use them as stuffing. That's a really good idea, Paula!

I put the decent sized leftover pieces in front of the hay bin to catch stray pieces of hay so I can just shake the smaller piece out. I also put them under pigloos so I can shake out the droppings easier. The smaller ones are good to use to brush off stray hay from my fleece pads when I clean cages.

I make a fleece forest of sorts. I take long strips, cut fringe in it, then use binder clips to hang it from the top of my cage, then use another piece that's whole to cover the area behind the fleece. It's a huge forest. My piggys love it, it's where my Fiona had her babies, and they all spend lots of time back there. I think I will add a litter box to the area. I also take scraps, if they are big enough, fold it in half, secure one open end to the wires with binder clips and it makes a sleep sac/hidey that I can move eaisly. Also a big hit with my piggies.

I put them into the cage. My boar has one strip he really likes. It's peed on and well worn. I never wash it, because it has there scent. If anyone ever needs to go to the vet, the strip comes too to make them more at home.

Id be very careful about leaving it dirty. It could pose risk to a bacterial infection.

I used my fleece scraps from making liners to make tread on the fleece cover for their ramp. I just cut them up into the width of the ramp and depending on what size they are they might need to be made a little skinnier but then I use a fabric glue so I can still wash the cover :D

@MrWhistles

It does get cleaned sometimes, normally they just leave it be in the cage. When it gets stained it gets washed. It was a big help when they went up north with us though.
