So I’m gonna get Guinea pigs soon and I’m going to use fleece bedding and I was wondering if you need the small pee pads everyone I see that use fleece has them so I was just wondering if there necessary?

Pee pads are very helpful for those high traffic areas of the cage normally under hiding spots and do help to prolong the life of the main fleece liner as they can be changed out easily! It’s always handy to have a few available!

Hi

You will either need a fleece liner with an absorbent layer included or provide one yourself.
Puppy pads are very popular but you can also use cheap towels or shredded paper.

Pee pads are brilliant.
Rather than change a whole liner it is super easy to keep the cage fresh by removing a small pee pad in the most used areas daily.
