We purchased one of these, and it seemed wonderful! Our piggies were happy, the room smelled fresh and clean for a week! Swept the poop up daily with a small dust sweeper and pan. After the 5th day, it was time to wash the fleece. After washing and drying we then put the fleece back in the piggies house 😊 They were happy! But.... Our washer smelled of urine SO bad, even after running vinegar, bleach etc etc through it, the urine smell would not go away! Ended up with a new washer because of this. We now purchase fleece blankets from Walmart $2.50 and throw the blankets away every week. I am not trying to discourage anyone from buying one, but this was our experience 😷😱

I just hand wash the fleece and soak it in a bucket then hang it in the sun if I can. It still smells clean

This is honnestly why I went with the liners, and have a litter box rather than whole paper bedding. So before the big cages arived, i was housing my guinea pigs in small cages, and changing it every three days. I could change three cages twice with one bag of paper bedding. This was costing me so much, so when the girls moved to the big cage, they got fleece liner and a litter box that had paper shavings. I then switched to a guinea dad liner (2x1) in a store bought cage as my male recovered from being fixed. IT SAVED TIME, TROUBLE, AND MONEY. Now I just use a quarter of a bag of shavings once a week, and just switch out the liners. (The male now has a 2x3 cage). It's save so much money and clean time in the long run.

Ew I had to clean the wood-shaving bedding once a day. It got dirty very quickly and my guinea pig butts got all dirty from it too. Not only they got allergies, but I got allergies too. It was very easy to switch to fleece liners. I didn't know you sold fleece liners. They don't ship to Costa Rica though 😢

@Defender_messenger 4 жыл бұрын

Ericka Céspedes EVERYDAY!? I use wood shavings and I change it out once every week if you fill the bottom of the cage enough it should stay dry and all the poop should fall to the bottom layers of the shavings. I bought a fleece liner and I personally don’t like it for my pigs main cage, it get soiled to quickly and if you don’t work from home you don’t really have time to clean it so often. I do use it for their playpen though.

FLEECE Btw the best way Ive found to clean the poo is connect a vacuum to a bucket, and connect a vacuum line to the bucket. Then the poo and other materials go in thr bucket and you csn dump it out. Works great. The pigs are so unafraid of vacuuming now many times I try to nudge them over a bit to clean where they are and they actually refuse to move. Go around me dude, Im eating.

@dynjir 8 ай бұрын

Can I know how you do this? What kind of vacuum do you have that allows you to dump everything directly into a bucket?

@bunberrier 8 ай бұрын

@dynjir The bucket is connected to the house central vac. If you havent heard of central vac look up that term. Most people dont have that so Im lucky that way. The air that goes through the bucket vents outside. You definately would not want to do this with a vacuum that vents into your home, because there is mold in there. If you dont have central vac, you could use a shop-vac connected to the bucket, then connect a second hose to the vacuum outlet and have the hose go out a window. Hope I explained that well.

@bunberrier 8 ай бұрын

@@dynjirAlso they have their own washing machine that I picked off the curb, someone was throwing it out. That way all this filthy bedding doesny have to go into the same washer as our clothes. I use the same dryer but they are clean when they go in. White vinegar and a small amount of detergent is perfect to keep them neutral smelling.
