I made some new fleece liners for the cages today and thought I'd take a few pictures to help explain the layers used for those who want a visual of one method of layering fleece.
I like to make sewn liners so I can just shake it out, throw it in the laundry and easily slide a new one in. Some people like to have everything separate and just change the layers as needed and binder clip to the edges. My piggies don't tunnel under the liners so I don't have issue keeping it in place, but many pigs do tunnel so this method wouldn't work for those ones real well.
I use %100 cotton quilting batting for the inner absorbent layer. I put two layers of it in between fleece. I think this is probably similar to uhaul pads. Unfortunately I can't get the uhaul pads in my area so I have to go the more expensive route. I sew it all together like I'm making a pillow case and then turn it right side out to finish it. I do top stitch it when its right side out as well to help prevent bunching and to keep the shape.
