bedding question

[lilmasweet]

I just bought some material to use on the top level of my gp cage. I would like to know what I should put underneath it (besides the coroplast) or would it be fine by itself? I got a t-shirt material because they didn't have fleece.

The advantage with fleece is that it wicks the moisture away to the layers of towels and /or puppy pads and newspapers underneath. Cotton tends to absorb moisture - so will probably stay wet - and therefore need changing a lot more often.

To answer your question, under the material could be layers of towels/absorbent padding/pads and on top of the corroplast, newspaper. - though everybody has a different way of doing it.

Where do you live? Maybe somebody local could point you in the direction of fleece.

I live in Mississippi and have been to Wal-Mart a couple of times but they don't have/carry fleece. Also another question I had was if I use material on the top level how high does the coroplast need to be on the sides?

Do you have a Hancock fabric store around there? They have a store locator on their website, and are selling solid colours of fleece at 50% off this weekend. You really do need a material that will not hold moisture, but rather draw the moiture through to an absorbent layer below.

Your Wal-Mart should have fleece. It is a standard for them. I don't want to sound like I am talking down to you, but did you ask or did you just look and not see any? The last time I was at my Wal-Mart I was getting some printed fleece cut and telling the lady about them being out of the solid that was $4.44/yd. (which is what I wanted) Not once did she point it out to me and I looked around while talking to her and there it was. Not with the expensive fleece, but all by itself.
