Re: Pros and cons of different absorbent layers- wood pellets under fleece
Where do you get the pine wood pellets/ what kind of stores sell them?Okay, I use fleece over pine wood pellets, and I love it!
Pros:
- Turns to dust after getting wet about three or four times. My piggies don't exactly pee gallons, so it works very nicely. (Depending on how thick you lay it down this will vary, I do a 40 pound bag and a half on a 2x6.)
- Doesn't smell even after turning to dust.
- Biodegradable (we use the used stuff in the garden) as opposed to burning paper.
- 5-6 dollars for a 40 pound bag.
- Has to be changed every 6-8 weeks.
Cons:
- Um, let me think...
- Still thinking.
- Darn, I just can't think of any cons!
- Anybody got any?
