I looked around for this question and I couldn't find it so I was just wondering; How do you get the fleece and towels to stay still at the bottom of the cage?
When the piggies run around, doesn't it shift and get all messed up?
Some ideas on how to accomplish...

Has anybody figured out a great, fast way to pick poops up off the fleece? For me, vacuum cleaners suck up the fleece and a broom and dustpan seems to just scatter the poops everywhere! Perhaps I simply have poor technique? I've resorted to putting on...

If I use the dustpan method large spoons to scoop .
Also I have covered the area where the hay nuts for cleaning time (and yes I do clean at least twice a day).
Shaking and at night I replace them with clean fleece.

With fleece, poop needs to be picked up at least once a day.
That fleece is taken outside and shaken out a few times a week, not sure if that is an option or not for you.

I use an extremely cheap handvac that cost me $17. It's awesome for picking up poops. for the final cleaning of the week, I shake the poops out into the bottom of the cage and shake off the hay as well. If needed, I vacuum it.
Then I vacuum the excess...

I am thinking of swapping from woodshavings to fleece and was thinking of one layer of fleece, one layer of towels and maybe on layer of newspaper. However, I...

It's WAY easier to clean, it's inexpensive, it doesn't fleece at walmart....

In the bottom of the cage...

You could use binder clips to attach the fleece to the coro so that they can't get under the fleece....
I'd try to find a way to discourage the habit .
I don't think it's healthy for them to be under the fleece with little ventilation.

As long as you have an absorbant layer below your fleece, the wicking layer, then it should be fine prohibitively expensive, I would buy one and test it out for a week before sewing it to the fleece.

Has anyone else given up on the fleece? I have a C and C cage that is 2 X 6 and have found that it is way too involved to take all the fleece and towels out often enough to keep the room and cage smelling clean. I am going to give a first try to different...
