    I don't sew my cage liners. I used to sew the fleece to the uhaul pads but I have way to many different fleece patterns I wanted to use and did want to buy stock in uhaul. Now I use binder clips to attach the fleece to the coroplast and I think it works very well. My pigs are not able to...

    Fleece Joann's Blizzard fleece $2.99 per yard

    I use blizzard, I haven't had any issues with it once I switched to the U-haul pads underneath but I would love to hear more input. I do have several set of anti-pill also. I guess I never really noticed a difference.

    Bedding Kitchen Help! Yesterdays News vs Equine Fresh Vs. Wood Stove Pellets

    I tried Yesterdays news for my pigs in their 2x2 Kitchen and I was surprised that after less then 1 day it has an ammonia smell? Has anyone else had this issue? I usually use Equine Fresh in there but I heard some people were using hardwood stove pellets which I am assuming are very close to...

    Fleece Getting hair off fleece

    Ok I have finally converted 100% and I think I will never go back to anything else now. It took the joy of Uhaul blankets for me to convert. I am very happy with them other then the fact I can't get the hair off the fleece. Without using dryer sheets do anyone else have this issue??? Any...

    Bedding uhaul blankets

    I didn't sew mine I safety pinned the fleece to the bottom layer so no pins are visible in the fleece. I was thinking about sewing them but I have about 10 different fleece patterns and I don't want to buy 15 packages of uhaul blankets but I think it might be easier to vacuum the poop up if...

    Bedding Looking for aspen in Michigan

    I know there are several people here form Michigan. Do any of you use aspen bedding in your cages and if so where do you get this. I used to get it from Pet Supplies Plus and they don't carry this in large bags anymore. Let me know if you have a good location.

    Fleece Fleece- what am I doing wrong!

    Hmmmm 4 layers of towels? Does that cut the smell? I am open to trying that. OK so get a downy ball and fill that with vinegar. I can do that. I can also wash this on the hottest setting they have. I will start trying this and see where I get. Does flannel have less of an odor...

    Fleece Fleece- what am I doing wrong!

    OK I have been using vinegar at the beginning as I am not sure how you add this to the rinse cycle? Keep in mind these are the big front loading commercial washers. Hmmm Flannel is an option. How many layers do you use? I am willing to try anything. You can really use Dawn in the washer...

    Fleece Fleece- what am I doing wrong!

    OK, I have now tried washing with Vinegar and using less detergent as recommended. I have also sewn the fleece to two layers of towels and now have 4 sets of fleece to change. I have to go to the Laundromat to wash them as they are to big/heavy for our washer. It is still smelling of urine...
