The piggies and their brand-new fleece! :D

My fleece arrived today from piggybedspreads.com (for reference this is a size "medium" cage from guineapigcages.com and the bedspread fits perfectly with a little looseness on the side but when it shipped, they sent an e-mail that after a few washes there'll be 3-5% shrinkage so it's supposed to be a little big). I've only used aspen before and I

I've never been in Home Goods but I googled it and it looks like there's one in my town. I should have looked into it but I'm so anti-DIY because I suck at anything I try to do myself - I didn't even make my own C&C, haha. But that would have been easier! I fell like a sucker for the patterns at piggybedspreads though. But if I need to replace the bottom for any reason I'm gonna do that instead of re-ordering. Or maybe I can put the blanket mat under the water bottle at least, to stop leakage. More protection is better!

Strangely enough mine used to use around 3/4 of the cage as a waste area when I had the aspen, and in the 4 days we've had the new bedspread they only poop in specific spots. I think it's because it doesn't get tossed around by them running like with the aspen. I've already seen the piggies stretch out so much more than before and I can actually see my submissive piggy's feet now! I think before with the aspen she was so scared of the wood shavings and how there was nothing level in there that she intentionally hunched down. I had no idea there'd be such a marked difference with the fleece, but I'm so happy we have one now. From the sound of it, it sounds like your piggie is happy you have one now too! :)
