Hi all,
I tried doing a search on this but didn't see what I was trying to ask. I am thinking about switching to fleece over wood pellets. I just recently redid the boys cage from one with a loft and ramp, to a larger one level cage with kitchen area. They are so much happier, wish I didn't wait. The dominant humping by Alfie has stopped! I currently use fleece liner that I sewed with u-haul pad in the middle. I have numerous potty pads that I change more often. Now that the cage is larger my liners don't fit the way they used to and I have to piece together a bit. I'd love to just get a larger piece of fleece with no uhaul and go with pellets but my dilemma is on the poop sweep. My boys burrow, so I clip the fleece to the coroplast. Sweeping is easy because it is a liner and nice and taut, but sometimes little bubble areas get the poop stuck. How does this work with fleece over pellets? If it is light I think would the brush would just move the fleece all over the place and not be easy to sweep. Do you have to unclip it every day and dump the fleece out? I can't find a vacuum for it. They either don't even suck up the poop, or it sucks the fleece into a different dimension. Curious for some feedback. Thanks in advance!!
