I've had guinea pigs for more than 10 years before getting this. I wish I'd done it sooner. The hybrid fleece and bedding solution is a game changer.

The pigs love their kitchen so much that they spend maybe 80% of time there. The cage is less smelly overallbecause they don't pee on the fleece anymore. They barely even poop on it.

It's so much less work because the hay doesn't get on the fleece either. I just clean off the poops here and there and we can keep a fleece in there for two weeks with two pigs. I'm not even sure it even needs to be changed after two weeks, it just feels like the right thing to do. The bedding is so much less of a hassle to deal with than the fleece - no vacuuming, no washing machine, etc.

Also, it means I can still use our 4x2 fleeces in the new 5x2 cage. This kitchen more than makes up the difference.



The main downside is that it's too big to dump into a kitchen garbage bag easily. Fortunately we can compost it, but my alternative solution would have been to hang on to a contractor size bag and just keep filling it until it's full.

My girlies love the big kitchen and an added canopy has really boosted their confidence

This has made cage clean up so much easier omg i love it
