So some cage liners do have a waterproof bottom layer but the problem with them is that they can smell very quickly and generally aren’t recommended.
The best ones are fleece at the bottom, absorbent layer in the middle, then fleece on top. They are absolutely fine to just be put into your...
If you can't buy Uhaul pads, I buy mine off of Amazon or Walmart. I buy the non-quilted ones and use that as the absorbent layer. Here is one that I have used.
Robot or human?
I make sure I wash it once on its own on hot water and then dry it in the dryer. If you wash it more than once...
I have a new washer coming in a month. I wish it was sooner. I think it already shrunk the blankets I have and will probly ruin them quick with how things they are. It probly doesn't rinse detergent out well enough either since the cold water side is clogged. My water is steaming. Thats all I...
I would not use plastic bottles for pellets. Simply throw the pellets into a pile of hay - no bowls, no containers etc for pellets. That way they forage through the hay as a form of enrichment and mental stimulation of find the pellets instead of mindlessly sitting and eating them From a...
Ah, I've never heard of that before. Do you know the estimated price when you buy in bulk?
Yes, my pigs are boys. I will look into doing this as well, because I don't want to remove the entire fleece cover whenever they pee on it everyday. And no I did not. I use doggy pee pads from the pet...
Vetted (with puppy pads underneath) is recommended for older piggies as it is very soft and absorbent. It is of course a fabric bedding though and I can understand you not wanting to use it. I don’t use fleece as mine live outside however when they come in during summer I use fleece then (only...
I've tried them. didn't like it. the poops LOVE to stick between those little nibs. it makes the clean up process to put it in your wash longer imo. honestly a sowing machine and fabric will last you a life time... trick is for fabric is your guinea pig doesn't care what the pattern is so you...
Loving the fleece and the piggy 😍
Perhaps I need to point my kids in the direction of little floof co for Christmas, to prevent a buying spree on my own behalf 😅
If most people just dump it on the cage floor and my piggies seem to like it that way, maybe I'll leave it like that with the addition of buying a hay bag that clips to the cage so I know at least some of the hay is pee-free. xD
It's more people wandering in and looking at the state of their...
You have to manage it as best you can but that is how you would need to get any dried on poops off - by soaking his feet to soften it and then wiping it off (that’s the standard advice).
Pure water wipes can be used but only if the poop is caught and wiped off while they are still wet.
The...
Well let’s start at the beginning.
Gorgeous Pepper came into my life at the very beginning of November 2020 just before we went into the 2nd Covid lockdown. Literally the day before lockdown. So he was definitely a “panic buy”. Most people were panic buying loo paper and pasta. I was buying a...
I am beyond happy.
Both my children are buying houses so will be moving out soon …… so my husband (aka maintenance man for the piggies) has said they can move in on a trial basis. He thinks they will smell and it will be messy.
I haven’t told the boys yet as it’s still a few months away. But...
Yes a Midwest is 2 foot by 4 foot.
A guineadad here is around £52 which is around 62 US Dollars. I got my single layer fleece for £10 which is around 12 US dollars (According to Google conversions). Puppy pads come in a reusable version so although slightly more to buy than disposable...
Thank you for the detailed reply, I really appreciate it! I've seen velvet in a local pet shop before so I'll buy a small amount to give a try. I didn't realise snowflake had softchip, I like their woodshavings so will definitely give it a try.
Paper bedding was what I had in mind so this will...
I use a disposable bedding and I buy in bulk from a local farm so it is much cheaper. I use either megazorb or wood shavings (Snowflake soft chip to be exact) as I find I can remove I can remove just the wet areas daily quite easily without unsoiled bedding being caught up.
Are your...
Thank you so much for the advise and well wishes 🙂 I do have some washbags but they’re only small enough to fit two fleeces in at a time (I use fleeces for my piggies to sit on on the settee when they come out for lap time) Sadly, using large pieces of vet bed isn’t an option as I struggled...
hi guys do you think i should throw away my wooden hideys or buy new ones since my piggy has lice, she’s on a treatment atm since i brought her to the vet this morning.
For anyone who had experience with lice before: how many times weekly should i wash my fleece?
Also i ordered ivermectin...
It's been 13 or 14 years since Jake's eye issues. I'm so not used to any of this. I managed to wrap him a little which is hilarious solo - wrap it round once, move him off me to let the fleece wrap go underneath him, repeat a few times til there's no fabric left. It doesn't stop him shifting his...
