Fleece Problems....

[CavyCatastrophe]

I just started using fleece and one of my pigs was covered in pee. He never had a problem with it when i used bark but he always has used the bathroom right where he sleeps. I was just wondering what could help, or if i need to change back to regular bedding.

is he a long haired piggy?
anyways, the fleece should have dried between the time he peed and went to bed. what have you got under the fleece? can i reccomend baby crib pads?

I have two layers of fleece, then towels, then a table cloth.

Yes he has long hair and his belly and his bottom were covered in urine. i had to give him a bath.

loves2travel, do you use fleece?

It could be that you had the fleece wrong side up. There is a right side and a wrong side of fleece. Look at the edge, it should curl to the underside a bit. It does take practice to be able to see the difference in the fleece sides.

were you able to fix the problem, or have you permanently given up on fleece?

I have switched back to pine bedding.

thats too bad the fleece didn't work out for you. Some people love it, others hate it. I guess you fell into the latter.

I liked it cause it was easier, cleaner, and had no oder, but i cant bathe mo (1 of my pigs) every day.

lol, no you can't be giving baths every day. But you mentioned that it had not odor? well, thats good. But it surpirses me that even without drying, the fleece still gave no odor.
heh!
