Wood Pellets/Chips Wood pellets under fleece

So this may sound really dumb so bear with me, so when your layering absorbent things under the fleece, do you do u-haul and then wood pellets as the base. Won't that feel weird on the piggies feet?

No, it's wood pellets then fleece. The wood pellets go underneath the fleece, no u-haul. I imagine at first it's a little weird for them, but the wood pellets flatten as they get peed on so maybe it's not as uncomfortable...I've never used pellets for that very reason, that it might be uncomfortable for them to sleep on. Maybe they get used to it overtime. The only to thing I hate about wood pellets is that it's not soft I guess they can only be 100% comfortable on fleece cage liners.

U-haul is used underneath the fleece. It's recommended to use 2 layers of u-haul but 1 works just fine. You wash it 1-2 times a week with the fleece.

Wood pellets under fleece make for a gigantic dusty mess. Seems like a good idea, but not so much.
