Ok thanks yeah I switched her back toa loose bedding from fleece cause I hadn’t had the time tomake cage liners so it was just fleece in her cage and the fleece kept getting gross quickly I was ending up changing them 2times a week and she’s just too big to clean herself right now but I’ll...
I switched to fleeces a couple of months ago and I believe it’s the best thing I’ve done. It makes cleaning/maintaining much easier! The only downside is that I’m finding it hard to get the stains/stubborn hairs out but they’re clean.
Since adopting our potential husboar a few days ago I...
I totally will when we bond better. I have a few but they tried loading sideways. My profile picture is a straight shot of all them. I don't need to hear how cute they are because I already know they are perfect! (But compliments are always nice, and so is looking at cute, beautiful piggies!)...
I recently made my cage liners for the first time and somewhere online that you only need to wash the fleece twice before using it to prepare it but ive found that my piggies wee is sitting on top of the fleece and is not being absorbed, the cage liner has also shrunk and no longer covers the...
I use waterproof mattress protector between two pieces of fleece for the boys cage liners. I’ve seen some where people have used towels. Zorb is also a good one - expensive but worth it. And uhaul. If you check YouTube there are several videos on howtomakea cage liner
Thanks everyone.
I will let you know how I get on. I have spent hours looking into this and finally I have ordered some vetfleece from Amazon. Green backed not the rubber backed one. I’ve ordered a small roll as this worked out better value than 2 pre cut pieces as I will need one for clean...
That is strange that is says not to use hot water. I make my own fleece liners and pads and wash them in hot water and add a little white vinegar to the detergent. I just ordered these little ball things you put in the washer that are supposed to catch all the hair, I’ll let everyone know how...
Hi there it's me again! So it's been a while since I last posted (see my last post for the full story) - the boys have been separate for a few months now and they are really happy; no signs of depression at all! I have let them see each other from time to time so they dont get lonely but there's...

Thanks! I used one of the spare panels to give stability to the loft. I'll have to look into the guttering (not sure how I'm going to fit it into the car!) As a temporary measure, I just used the remaining correx and folded it up, and then duct taped paper straws to the underside tomake it more...
I know how you feel I really wish I had the money and space to do a C&C cage for my two girls but for now they seem happy enough with what they have.
I’ve saw fleece liners that you can buy but they aren’t cheap (at least not for me at the moment) so I just bought some towels and fleece...
4 General fleece use and care tips
To extend the time between main liner washes try using smaller fleece pads in high traffic or messy areas of the cage (underneath water bottles and food bowls, in corners where piggies are more likely to pee, underneath houses, etc). Even if you buy your main...
I think it is a personal choice and you need to consider lots of factors.
Is everyone ok about you using the washing machine for guinea pig stuff?
Time, cost, mess?
Are your piggies indoor or outdoor and what cage set up are you using?
I used to use Auboise but switched to fleece and love it...
Hi there. I apologise in advance... This is a long one. I need some genuine advice and support. Let me start from the beginning.
Back in Feb 2019 I rescued 2 boars aged 10 months. Two months later we rescued two further boars aged 5 months (wasn't planned but we were more than happy to), they...
Heeeeeey 👋
As most of you know I have given the piggies their own extension to run around in, I work all day so want tomake sure they have exercise they need
Do I leave the floor as it is? It’s plastic? I have put a puppy pad I got from Home bargains for £1.50 and it can be washed in...
My sweet boy Sheep (he's a male, about a year and a half old) has been acting completely unlike himself lately. He's never been a huge fan of being picked up, but lately he either sits there & chatters his teeth if you're anywhere near him or he looks terrified all the time. He won't stop hiding...
Looks like the sort I use. The reason I use the mattress protector and cut it up rather than buy the quilted cotton wadding is it's cheaper but basically the same thing!
I've seen people do clever things on howtoo videos where they sew all the layers in one go, turn it the right way and sew...
