No but I have read good things and plan to start, argos sell them. Hear RSPCA
Are a good make.
 
I used them the other day and the naughty piggies ripped it up, have too playful babies, love the way the older sows look at them as if to say * will be in trouble now!:)):))

tuck the fleece under it do they cant get to it all are mine are pests for doing that!
 
I do go on about my cage liner's but if you cant make them then cut toppers up and put them under your fleece they are washable and never smell as it soaks up the pee and because the microfibre is airy the pee dries and it stops it smelling and keeps the fleece dry.

this one does a two 2x4 c and c cages with some left over you will have to sew the cut side's if not doing liners, I will be doing step by step making a cageliner tomorrow (making it tomorrow maybe post late tomo night or tuesday morning)
 
Thanks 4piggiepigs i have one somewhere..going to hunt it out :)

That one's a 50 50 mix, you could try it but 100% cotton cover is what i use and that's what i know to work, you can also use the left overs to make toilet mats or lap pads
 
No problem i love my liner's are you going to try making one or just use them under your fleece? I will post picture directions monday or tues
 
I currently use double towel..would you say this is better ?
 
I used to use puppy pads when i had my boys in the nero 4 cage and they worked well for me. I still buy them now for floortime and i get mine from B&M Bargains £4.99 for a pack of 30. I cut mine in two to fit under the willow tunnel as they like to wee under there.

Now in the cage a use washable absorbent bed pads these ones:

I have 4 altogether 2 to go in my 2x4 c&c cage and two spare, they work great with fleece on the top. :)
 
I only started sewing for the piggie's i couldnt before yes these are much better (even better as a liner as poo and stuff cant get under it ) it has taken me a few attempts to get their bedding right ive tried towels liners made with towels puppy pads the toppers you found etc, these ones are brilliant i made this for my sister a while ago

and shes been begging me for more ever since she bought me the stuff to do them
atleast look at the instructions tomo/tues they really are quite simple and you can always msg if you need help
 
Would i be able to make for this cage ?

I have supplies on the way..more fleece and i just ordered one of those pads on amazon as well as getting the argos one tomorrow :)
 
They would be easier to make for that cage than mine as the bigger the fabric the more likely it will bunch during sewing and my cage is 4.5 ft ish you can elasticate the sides too kinda like a fitted sheet
 
Thanks hun i will have a go at it :) I'm sure my dad could help ..he used to be a tailor :)
 
Oh well in i would get him to do it then they are basically, cut topper to size pin to fleece (cotton side touching fleece) sew round then make individual strips for the side's (4 strips) make them wide enough to go up one side and down the other plus 2 inches (to tuck under) sew them together so you get like a baby bumper for a cot pin the sewn edges to the corners of the liner pin the sides and sew round you can then elasticate the corners if you want but i never bother

I also use towels atm and I am finding that in the boys cage they drink loads and don't wee in the littertray so I am changing the towels every two days!

I love the idea of these, I'm going to order some:))
 
I ordered 2 and going to use the mattress protector too while washing the other :)
