Re: Fleece?

Me! I use fleece.
I converted when I still had my old cage, and I'm glad I did because it'd take me hours and hours to clean the new one out- I'd have to dismantle and rebuild it everytime!

Anyhow, I digress....
I've found the trick is to not just use fleece. my liners consist of a piece of fleece sewn on to a piece of towel- the fleece draws the moisture away from the surface and then the towel soaks it up.
I wouldn't like to use just towels since I've heard so many horror stories where rats have caught limbs in the little threads.

I only change mine once a week- the girls aren't even the best at going in their litter trays (they have 3!!) but I don't find it all that bad. And I know this will sound weird but I can fit into their cage so I lean in and get a right good whiff and I don't smell a thing for a week.

I'd definitely give it a try with the towelling if you can- I find it much quicker to clean out, it looks nicer and better for little ratty noses
