In reading through these forums, I see that materials such as wood pellets, towels, and U-Haul blankets are popular choices to use as an absorbent layer under fleece. One thing I haven't seen mentioned is shredded paper bedding under the fleece. I know many use paper exclusively as the only bedding in the cage (this is what I am doing now until my new C&C cage arrives in a few days and I transition to fleece), and others use it in a litter box area, but I haven't seen mention of it being used UNDER fleece. Is there a reason for this? When my new cage arrives, I am going to try using fleece, and I will still have quite a bit of paper bedding left over. I plan to use it for the kitchen/litter area, but is there any reason I shouldn't use it as an absorbent layer under the fleece?
I have also seen some recommend using waterproof bed pads under the fleece. Wouldn't the urine just bead up and sit on top of the pad? Should something absorbent be used also? Or am I thinking of the wrong kind of bed pad?
