    Just tried this at home and made a couple of waterproof fleeces which worked very well in the cage for my two piggies! I don’t have the machine so I just sewed them by my hands, took a while but it was really fun! I used pet pads for my piggies before and not happy with that as the liquid can flow back easily when piggies stepped or lie on it so I have to changed it twice a day. The best part about those fleeces is that you can get it with the perfect size for your cage! Highly recommend everyone to try this and this video is amazing !

      I made two sets of pads per “pee and poo spots”. After 2-3 days, I switch out the used pad for the back up pad. After another 2-3 days, the whole set gets replaced with another set of fleece cage liners and coordinating pads are put into the cage. So far, this schedule has kept the cage from getting smelly!

    Just wanted to thank you for this video. I spent hardly any money making my liners from material I already had at home. Only bought a waterproof sheet. My piggies sat in their house for two hours paralyzed after I put in the fleece. Then magic happened. Peach looked so happy running around on this solid material underneath her feet. She has been jumping and running and exploring. So cute. Daisy is more of a laid back one, but she does look happy too. 🥰

    TYSM for sharing this video. I don't have piggies, but I hv a new puppy n wanted an alternative to disposable pads. I used to make reusable menstrual pads and had a lot of leftover material so decided to make reusable piddle pads instead of purchasing. The mattress protector I got for 20$ off Amazon (KING SIZE!) and I've made 3 so far with over half left over. I used Zorb for the absorbent layer since I already had it on hand, and cute fleece out of my stash as well. They are PERFECT! She learned so quickly where to potty. But every time I make a new 1 I check ur video to remind myself of the order of the materials. Mine are much larger, but same exact concept. So, ty again, for sharing. Well done piggy mama 👏 😘 ❤️

    Great thank you I’ll be giving this a go, do you do the same but on a larger scale for the bottom of the game or is that straight up just fleece? Tia

    I NEED to make these!!!
    I love a sewing project ;) and my new piggies are hella messy 😅 love the girlies but I think they’ll like some soft fleece pads! (And they’ll spare mummy some of the insanity of all that paper bedding Oof ...)
    So far I’m using some fleece airplane blankets (yes I’m the person to keeps those ahhhhh but they’re handy now!!) and now I need to add the other two layers, bc yeah these girls are messy :’D

    Great idea! Can they go thru the wash? Also what is the base layer in the enclosure?
