That's a very good system you have there...like a hybrid fleece-bedding combo. Is fresh news a good bedding, though? I am not allowed to use fleece and while I love the pellets, changing them out every two weeks is killing my back because they're so heavy. If I had fleece it would be every couple months and I could deal with that, but 40 lbs is very heavy for my noodle arms and I'm trying to consider other options.
One thing I love about these discussions is just how many systems and opinions people have on bedding. Recently, a lot of people--including myself--have turned to wood pellets or the fleece/wood pellet combo, but that doesn't mean the ol' uhual lining and fleece suddenly stopped working, or that plain disposable bedding doesn't exist. It's kind of interesting to look at the crazy (yet ingenius) ideas people have come up with for this kind of thing, and how many options there are.
