The piggies and their brand-new fleece! :D

[typicalfemale]

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

Congrats on the bedspread! Did you do it from piggybedspreads.com or get it at another site? If you used the piggybedspreads.com site just be aware that when they say 6 weeks to arrive, they really mean it! I ordered mine on July 12 and got it on August 31. It makes sense because they have to custom-make each one but FYI it does take the full 6 weeks (I was hoping it was just one of those things they HAVE to say just in case but 'tis true! In my case at least). But it's totally worth it when it comes cause it's GREAT and totally adorable. What design did you get?

I'll keep a lookout for Critter Canteen, so far I've got that, the Petco bottle (my old one was one of many that were damaged, which I didn't see on their website til later), and the water bowl to check into which might work. I lifted the Lixit up a square and it seems to be dripping less now but the piggies have to reach higher to get to the water and I'm not fond of them straining their necks like that. :( I gotta get this new water bottle SOON.

We just got these new Living World recycled glass water bottles, and thus far I think they're spectacular. We just put them up for our pigs for the first time today, and I love them. They're supposedly less prone to dripping because of the way the spout is designed, and they've got double bearings in there. The pigs like them thus far too.

I just went to livingworld.com and their website is adorable. Although I got caught up in looking through the cartoon guinea pig's little house on the site, haha. It's such cuteness!

Their stuff sounds good, I haven't seen it at our stores but I haven't been there in a while. It would be nice to get a recycled bottle too cause this will be the 3rd water bottle I've needed to get them in less than a year. With this, their old cage from the first 2 months that I *thought* was big enough until they got big and I got the new C&C, the new ceramic bowls cause the plastic ones were tipping over all the time, and the new carriers, I feel like I've gotten multiples of EVERYTHING. :-/ It's definitely been a learning experience, LOL.

a friend of mine directed me to piggybedspreads, she's saving up to order one for her three piggies :D THE OUTER SPACE PATTERN IS WIN! if i end up getting one, too, i think that'll be the pattern i go with!

It looks so much better in person too and the colors pop. You can choose to make the sides the same pattern or to do a solid color & my solid side-color is the electric blue & it makes the space pattern really cheery!

I just pulled mine out of the washer a few moments ago (washed it for the first time). It gets SO clean. :)
