Does anyone use a nice thick fleece as bedding? how do you find it? I'm on the look out for a change of bedding since I got the girls, Candy with her long hair and Abbie who could wee for England ;D
 
I have Lottie on towel & fleece. I bought fleecy baby blankets from our £ shop, they measure 75cm x 102cm
I've also got some fleecy pet blankets, these meas. 80cm x 120cm & have paw prints on them :)
 
Does the wee soak through or does the top stay soaking wet? I would be usinf fleeces from ikea they are quite large so I would fold them over a couple of times

The wee is meant to soak through the top to be absorbed by a layer of usually towels beneath it :) I have some massive blankets I bought at a car boot sale (new, unused) really cheap and a few from dunelm mills too, then I have a couple of layers of towels under the fleece, and lots of newspaper under that :)

If you don't wash it a couple of times before you use it the wee sits on the top otherwise it goes thru' to the towel. Lottie sits in one place at the mo :( & she's never wet underneath :)
 
Fleece is used as a wetness barrier with washable nappies because it isn't absorbant - it just lets the wet through. So I'm sure its the same with piggies :)

I did find my piggies have been drawn to fleece and vetbed to use as a toilet! I love this stuff:

It's about £8 for a huge bale if you buy 3.

I'm confused: I thought fleece was vetbed? Are fleece blankets the cellular ones for babies with loads of holes in? (Rats, just got rid of quote a few along with baby equipment!)
 
Ahh, thanks, Niki, I get it now! Vetbed looks much fluffier in the pics.
 
I got the majority of my fleece at Ikea. It costs around a couple of quid per blanket. I also got some thicker, better quality stuff from a fabric shop.
 
Yes thats the one I was thinking of using, £2.59 Polar Fleece, have one as a dog blanket already and it washes lovely.
 
i got some et blackets form the pound shop to put on my knee when having couldes and to put in pet carrer whe need to go vet etc
 
Ive just cut up some doggy fleece for Angel etc and she loves it
