I haven't built my cage yet other than putting the grids together. But in the event that the fleece is big enough to go up and over the coro walls, what would be some good things to use to hold it in place there? Would clothes pins be ok? Or do I need something that would hold better like those plastic clips used for potato chip bags? Or any other suggestions?

A lot of people use binder clips.

well i put yoga mats underneath mine and i make it kinda like a mattress, everything is in the middle and the edge of the fleece is taped to the bottom of the yoga mats so i can keep the fleece in place easily. You'd need very long fleece for this.

How well do the yoga mats work? Do they wick ir absorb? I'm interested to know how good they are as bedding. Thanks.

they are very awesome :D i put fleece over uhaul pads that are very absorbent :D and then yoga mats. it works out really well. and i sweep everyday i dont need to but i like to and you just might have some difficulties with long haired piggies. It wicks it and absorbed into the uhaul pads. They are better then bedding and less a mess.

And how do you wash the yoga mats? Could they be used without fleece on top? How often do you wash them? Do they have tiny holes/spaces in them? Are they thick or thin? Are they like the ones you can buy from those $2 or save$ stores? Seems Chuck & I share the same interest in how they're used....
