Sorry if I'm asking things that have been answered before.
We are still setting up our C and C cage ( 2 x 4) ready to then purchase 2 females.
Have decided to try out fleece with wood pellets underneath for the entire area of the cage. The fleece will be clipped to the coroplast with binder clips and maybe have some terracotta tiles in each corner of the cage to make it easier to keep the bottom flat.
Any advice, tips, pitfalls to all of this please?
Feeling a bit concerned about the pine content of wood pellets --- they say over the phone there are no additives and that they are heat treated. I've emailed them asking more about the manufacturing process. Am considering Pettex Pampus Woodbase Cat Litter - it's a UK brand.
Also a bit bothered that it will be hard to clear the wood dust off one side and the hair and hay off the other prior to putting in the washing machine. Am buying a horse bag to wash in to protect the washing machine filters but a bit bothered that this will not sort the sawdust problems from the pellet breakdown.
And sifting the pellets to the top out of the sawdust sounds potentially messy and long-winded too.
Grateful for any thoughts. Thanks.
