I am a new and proud owner of two female piggies that are 2 months old! There names are Ponyo & Ryoko! I have only had them for almost a week. I have a 2x3C&C with a 2x1 loft as there kitchen. As of right now my fleece under bedding is not ideal as I dislike using towels under the fleece and I can already tell its going to be a hassle and already can tell its going to smell more than I would like. (Only going to be washing bedding once a week)
I have been stalking this forum for a bit now and Ive seen a couple times that people have said you can use batting for a uhaul pad alternative..is this true? If I layer enough batting would it work? I am looking to make a "pillow case" fleece and stick some coroplast and the absorbent layers in between to make it so the piggies cant dig up the fleece and burrow under it...I've already had to clean up a wonderful mess in the corner of the coroplast because they managed to dig the towels and fleece up and pottied in the corner.. If the batting is a viable option then I could also make potty pads for the corners and hidey areas
I figured I would do this:
-Fleece pillow case
-under bedding
-coroplast for support
-velcro under fleece pillow case to attach to coroplast base to keep them from digging.
I just would like to figure out a good absorbent bedding that isnt going to cost me an arm and a leg, and that can be washed in the washer.
Thanks for any and all help I get!
