I haven't been on the forum for a while, not that anybody noticed... But I'm back with some questions.
First, I know some of you don't use anything for lap time, but for those of you who do, do you use a fleece liner sort of thing or do you use a towel? I use a towel folded into thirds and when my pigs pee on it sometimes it goes through all three layers. Is it easier to get guinea pig hair (short and long) out from fleece or from towels? I was hoping if I could make some sort of fleece liner then I would be a step closer to getting my parents to let me use fleece in the piggies' cage. They don't want to wash the pig stuff in our washer, they thing it's really dirty. (But the point of a washer is to clean things!) I get it, but I'd love to be able to give them cozy sacs and other fleece stuff.
Also so how often do you wash your lap time item? After every use? After a week? Longer? When it starts to stink?
Thanks!
