I know everyone seems to use this but I've just got to ask....

Are you aaaaaaaaaaaabsolutly sure that a piggy wont nibble the fleece or inco pad, choke, or get clogged up and die? I know I'm paranoid but then I'm a rabbit owner and we're a paranoid breed!

Does anyones guineapig nibble at the fleece? ?/
 
That's good. Bought a fleece tonight in Primark - cream background with ping, purple and green daisys on it! Can't wait till my c&c grids arrive! Need to find correx stuff. could you not just put the grids down on top of inco pad and fleece? I would have all of that on a tiled floor - not carpet. do you think I need the correx too?

Discuss code "guinea" at checkout gets you additional 10% off, thats the one I use and is delivered next day :).

3 sheets made me 2 x (2x4) C & C, plus 3x (1 x 2) hayloft, I made a mistake with 1 and had to redo it.
It wouldn't be good for piggies to walk on grids floor, but my bottom floor is just correx on the ground with grids round it!
 
Thanks. Thats handy to know. I may know a place where I can get it free in Belfast - called the Play Resource Centre. I've got some before and used it to make a giant rabbit tunnel! Will try there tomorrow night.

There may be a little girl piggy in Lisburn -gonna ring tomorrow - she was left to die in a hutch with a rabbit companion when a family moved home and just left them! what kind of people...... !? Anyway the site info is that she wont be rehomed till she is better - the rabbit sadly didn't make it. She is black, so gonna ring Acorn Animal Sanct. tomorrow and get the whole picture. Never heard of Acorn. Have you?

My girls only really nibble the fleece if it has blanket stitch on! I try to cut it all off but they always find a loose bit of thread.

Mine are the same, they chew through the stitching around the end and it makes it look a mess. I cut it off of all my blankets before I use it now (and have taken it off of the old ones). They've never munched the actual fleece or inco pads though.

Angela and Nigel run Acorn rescue in Lisburn. I know Angela has been working in rescue for years and years and someone whose opinion I would respect. North West Pet Rescue (who I am part of) have worked along with Acorn in helping get dogs across the water to new homes in England with the help of an English rescue also.

I don't know how often they get small furries in, I'd only heard of this wee piggy rescued by them after taking in some rescue piggies myself.... though ours are now permanent fixtures in my home. :))

Fingers crossed for you. :)
 
I tuck my fleece over the correx and bulldog clip it! No shifting that and no ends to nibble!

Oh that was a horror story about that wee piggie! It had to live with it's dead companion who had died of starvation. The piggie has suffered too and has kidney and digestive problems and they don't know if it will do for long or not. It needs a very quiet home on it's own, with someone who will just let it be and not try to handle much. It is also a little him so wouldn't be suitable for me anyway. Poor little fellow. He's safe and well cared for now though.

So sad, poor thing. I'm shocked at how common it is for people just to leave small furries behind when they move away, horrible.

I'd heard before that it was a wee male, but on looking at their website where it says "she" I thought I'd got it wrong. mallethead
Hope he finds an appropriate home soon, bless him.

Well the girl there said he is fine where he is and she's not too worried about moving him on. He needs a quiet place I think where noone will really bother him too much. He might just be better off where he is - I don't know. Hope he's happy now though - wee man. :(
