    Fleece Frequency of fleece cleaning

    Thanks all. I changed the fleece, stuck to one layer and picked up incontinence pads. So it's just a layer of fleece and a layer of pads. I suppose 4 full days is reasonable for a full change of fleece with one guy! I spent a while lint brushing hair out of the fleece after the wash though...

    Fleece Frequency of fleece cleaning

    Hi, piggy foster mom here. I have one adult boar in a 2x4 cage. It has puppy pads as a bottom layer and 2 layers of fleece on top. I have a 'kitchen' area with a smaller piece of fleece that's easy to shake off. Today is just about 4 full days since I set it up and despite picking up poops and...

    Impaction Routine cleaning for boars?

    Thanks, I'll start checking! Should I wait until he's a little more comfortable with me? He already had to deal with me cutting his nails the first day he was here... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Fleece What to use to get horrible smells out of fleece!

    I filled up a spray bottle with 1/2 vinegar and 1/2 water and before I wash it I spray any areas that look particularly dirty (sort of like stain remover spray) and let it sit for a bit. I also run my cycle on the "Super Wash" which is like a 90 minute cycle - it gives the items a longer soak...

    Fleece gaps between fleece flippers in 2x3?

    UDATE: The customer service was AMAZING, and talked me through the whole thing within 24 hours. Turns out the issue was completely with MY cage versus the flippers themselves; my coroplast base was 1" too long (I had it made at a sign store) which threw the whole fit of the 2x3 off. The piece...

    Fleece gaps between fleece flippers in 2x3?

    Hi everyone! I ordered fleece flippers for my 2x3 cage. I washed them a few times and this afternoon set them in the cage but it seems like there are tiny gaps between them- not huge but enough where hay and other debris are getting stuck between them so my spot cleaning now includes lifting...
