GuineaDad Original Liner - Gray Fleece Guinea Pig Bedding - Reusable Guinea Pig Cage Liner - Extra Absorbent Liner with Waterproof Bottom - Small Pet Supplies

If you have Guinea Pigs, you NEED this liner! No more messes of bedding paper or chips. You will get your money worth and save so much money for other things. Trust me on this. We have three Guinea Pigs and all three of them can burrow in the large burrowing pocket with ease. Super easy to sweep up messes and super absorbent for catching their urine. The urine will not leak through the mat unless you don't change the liner or wash/dry the liner while they are out playing. It can only hold so much before it will start to leak into the cage. I've bought three to switch out weekly. Just shake out any debris before washing in the washer. I highly recommend drying them in the dryer so the excess hair is removed and the fleece liner remains soft. It's chew resistant and very durable. I will say after about 1-2 years (depending upon how many Guinea Pigs you have) you probably want to throw out the liner due to their oil secretions causing the liners to harden in patches and causing white spots that no amount of safely washing can remove without causing issues to your furbabies health and well-being. Super easy to remove and replace. I'm telling you, yes, they are expensive but in the long run, you WILL save money! And your furbabies will be healthier!

UPDATE: My last review consisted of pre-washing before use. Now I will review the liners after using them for about a month. These are still the best bang for your buck and keeps things neat and tidy. I have two liners and I clean the cage 2x a week. The cleaning of soiled liner is time consuming to "get it right". I take out the liner, shake it outside, use a dust brush to get off excess hay and hair. Then I soak the liner in the washer for a few hours in cold water with a little vinegar and All Clear detergent. Then I wash it on heavy still in cold water with a double rinse and a double spin. I throw it in the dryer for about 120-190 minutes of pure Air Fluff, zero heat setting. Once I take it out it may need an hour in front of the fan to get out any last dampness but usually it is ready to go. Without this thorough washing regimen, I find the liners hold an odor from wash to wash. If I didn't have my own washer and dryer I don't think I would recommend these. Hauling them to the laundromat would be pretty inconvenient. Since I go about 4 days between a liner change, it gives me 4 days to do the wash I prefer on these liners. I have had only the initial shrinkage at the first wash. The liners have stayed the same size since. But again, I don't even use heat in the dryer. Overall I still really like these liners and they've already paid for themselves in the month I've had them compared to the natural paper bedding. And my piggies absolutely love the pocket. I don't know how they lived without it! I just received the two liners I purchased for my two guinea pigs yesterday. I will be putting them in the cage after work. I will review the pre-wash and then review the quality later. Pre-washing was easy. I washed in cold water with vinegar, rinsed twice, spinned twice like the instructions. Then I AIR FLUFF dried for 30 minutes. They were almost dry, and I hung them up overnight to finish. This morning, dry as a bone and ready to go. I am not going to use any heat on these, just air fluff. I might be able to air fluff dry longer than 30 minutes but I thought I'd try this for now. I will pay attention to any shrinkage. I think zero heat and just drying this way may be best, but we shall see! Nice, heavy liners. Very excited to see how they work because I like to keep the cage really clean and I was spending $100 a month or more on natural paper bedding! If they work, they will pay for themselves in a month.

I was super hesitant to buy these because I'm a cheapskate and they're kind of pricey but oh man is it worth it. I have 3 Guinea pigs (2 cages in total) and I am constantly having to do laundry because my piggies aren't potty trained, and probably never will be. So i weighed the pros and cons of either constantly doing laundry or coughing up the money for this liner and the only thing I'm upset about is that it took me so long to finally purchase this product. This liner is so comfortable, absorbent and is an excellent quality. The biggest thing for me was absorbency so when I first got it, to test the absorbency, I laid it on myself and put 2 of my Guinea pigs on it. They hung out, had a snack, cuddled into it, and when they did pee, which ended up being multiple times, absolutely nothing got on me. I checked to see if the urine would bead down and go over the sides but it didnt, it went right into the pad and stayed there. So far weve just used it as a cuddle or play mat for the piggies a few times without having to wash it and it doesnt smell. Soo while I cant say how this would officially be in a cage, I do plan to purchase these for their cages because I think it would do so well just based off of what I've seen. It's sooo worth it. I do want to say that I also use the IKEA bath Mats, which alot of people seem to use as an alternative to these and that's exactly why I had got them but they're absolutely no comparison. The IKEA mats, although they're easy to clean, they get stinky pretty easily imo. So if you're on the fence, just do it if you can. I really doubt you would regret it.

I bought a pair of C&C 2x3 and C&C 2x1 lines for my Critter Nation cage and they fit fairly well. The width is spot on while length is a bit much but it can be tucked in, it might cause the door to be difficult to shut though. Absorbancy is very nice and it's very easy to wash with no noticeable shrinking so far after 5 washes. It takes 99 minutes for my machine to finish washing using the recommended settings in the included care pamphlets. For large puddles of pee it does stain the fleece but washes out easily (I don't notice any lingering ammonia scent either). I don't have a dryer so can't comment on shrinking for that since I hang these indoors and by the next day everything is pretty much dry. I use a vacuum hose and lint roller every day to get stray aspen out of the fleece since it's a bit annoying to pick it out by hand as it really sticks to the liners, this might be a problem if your rats are scared of the vacuum. If you do use these for your rats just expect for them to chew/tug at it. Two of mine aren't too interested in chewing it and instead they LOVE to tunnel under. My third rat really enjoys tearing large holes in the corners creating areas for everyone to tunnel. These problems aren't a big deal for me as it's expected for rodent pets but the price of these liners are pretty high so I wouldn't recommend it for people with chewers. My rats like to sleep on it (one actually prefers it compared to the space pod) everyone loves using the pocket. The pocket can be tucked away so you don't have to use it. Everything comes packaged in either tubes (C&C 2x1) or boxes (C&C 2x3) which has areas you can punch out to create a large hide or tunnel. These are loved by the rats too. All in all this is a solid product and it's very high quality as expected for the price. The only downside would be the price but these will last you a pretty long time as long as it's taken care of.

Love these liners for my guinea pigs. They are absorbent and don't smell. I use mine for a week and then wash. I spot clean every day. The pockets are a big hit-the pigs love to rest in them. The pads are oversized, I guess they designed them expecting them to shrink, but they haven't, so I have to put the long end up the side a little bit-not a big deal. The directions say to tumble low dry and not to run more than one dryer cycle, so mine never thoroughly dry. I put mine on a drying stand and let it hang out until the next week. It probably takes a couple of days to finish drying.

We've had Guinea Pigs for over two years now and I've despised the messy shavings and constant smell, despite diligently cleaning the cage daily. I had heard that fleece had become a popular small animal cage liner so I was really happy to find this product, pre-made and ready to go (vs making my own, which has mixed reviews from what I've researched). PROS: 1. SO much cleaner than shavings. I still sweep daily but only to pick up hay. We had friends over last month and one commented that the room where the Guinea Pigs were kept looked like a petting zoo. I went in and found shavings ALL over the floor, despite having just swept before the guest's arrival. As a clean person, I was mortified. This was what really started my search for something better. I really like that when the pigs scramble, shavings aren't scattered all over the room. And when my kids pick them up they don't drag shavings all over the house as they carry them. 2. SO easy to clean. Per the instructions, I simply remove everything from the cage and dump the entire contents of the liner into a trash can. I also take the liner outside and give it a good shake to loosen all of the hay and broken pieces of droppings that remain. The instructions recommend changing/laundering the liner weekly. I've found that I need to do this every four to five days because of odor (see below). I give it a quick vacuum, soak it in my utility sink for a few hours and throw it in the wash. I bought two sets for each cage to allow a quick swap and give the liners time to air dry fully before being used again. I haven't had any issues with shrinking so far while following the manufacturers recommendations for cleaning. 3. Much cozier then shavings. My guineas just seem comfier with this new footing whereas with shavings, even when bedded deep (which added to the mess on the floor), they managed to scramble through and find the flooring of the cage. CONS: 1. Not a perfect answer to the odor issue. After a day or two I begin to notice the faint smell of urine. It's not anywhere near the smell that would come from one missed day of shavings cleaning but the room doesn't smell like roses. Some of this might be because our bunny has someone found a way to pee in the corner of his cage where the urine somehow manages to get behind and under the corner of the liner. This results in a little puddle of urine under the pad which would obviously smell. As I mentioned above, I could not handle going a full week before changing the pad, as the manufacture recommends. I change them every four to five days and find this keeps the smell at a minimum. 2. The Guinea Pigs' cage looks yucky unless cleaned several times each day. With shavings, much of the droppings would hide in the shavings. With the liner, everything is out there to see and they poop a lot. I find that I clean the cage thoroughly at least once daily, if not twice, and spot clean in between. Otherwise I feel like they're living in a cage full of poop (which they kind of are). Our bunny uses his litter box for much of his pottying so his cage never looks yucky. Would absolutely recommend for bunnies, particularly if they were potty trained. And I hear that some Guinea Pigs will potty train, which would be amazing, resulting in this liner being the absolute perfect solution. Already have four of these and feel they were a great investment, despite the high price. They aren't perfect but they're really great!

I came back to Guinea pig ownership after having a bunch of piggies as a teenager. And things have changed since then! I had never encountered fleece liners before but I read a lot of reviews, watched a lot of YouTube videos, and read a lot of blogs which lead me to believe fleece was a good option for my pigs and fit in my lifestyle better than other options. My research also led me to Guinea dad! And I am absolutely thrilled with this liner. I also bought a smaller one for a subsection of the habitat and I love that one too. My pigs adored the fleece sleeve. They sleep in it and hide in it. Can’t stay away from it. It’s soft and padded, perfect for piggie feet. The fleece wicked beautifully and I couldn’t find a damp spot anywhere days after putting it down. I do daily spot cleaning and sweep ups. Which this liner made easier thanks to the smoother texture. This liner also has some weight my vacuum didn’t suck it up unlike the traditional fleece I started with. Doesn’t smell at all either. At least not that I’ve noticed. Washed in cold water with some white vinegar and it came out smelling fresh as a daisy. Easy as can be. Also happy with the crunchy condo and cardboard tube the liners came in. My pigs like hiding and playing in the packaging and I’m glad it can have a second life. Makes me feel a little less wasteful. Can’t say enough good things. I’ll probably buy a second set just so I won’t have to use the regular fleece in between cleanings. Worth every penny.

Guinea boys love the hidey spot!! Hands down the BEST guinea cage padding ever. I switched to Guinea Dad pads after a year of having guinea pigs. I tried everything that 1st year. These changed the game! They absorbed well, kept smell down, and were cozy for my boys. If you shake them out really well, and wash as directed, they did well in washer and dryer and I had a lot less "mess" floating around my washer. Also, their hay from their website is 1000% amazing too!

Don’t buy!

Best Guinea pig pad I have used. Other pads just don’t compare I say. My two guineas love it:)

Le produit est un peu cher mais il est vraiment génial. J'ai pris 2 couvertures 1x2 et 2 couvertures 2x4. J'ai sous les couvertures un bac plastique pour ne pas abimer le sol.Je les utilise vraiment pour le principe parce que je les ai. Dans l'absolu ce ne sera pas nécessaire, tellement les couvertures sont efficaces. Elles absorbent parfaitement et le dessus est à peine humide, même en renversant par accident la gamelle d'eau. Le dessous ne laisse rien passer. Pour les laver, elles passent en machine sur un cycle de lavage à la main avec du vinaigre. Comme elles sont super absorbantes, il est possible de passer un coup d'aspirateur dessus avant de les passer en machine pour enlever les poils et le foin avec la brosse à tissu de l'aspirateur. Attention par contre pour les faire sécher car elles vont se gorger d'eau en machine et une fois étendues, l'eau va faire des flaques dessous. Il faut bien les essorer avant ou les étendre là ou ça ne craint rien.

Lo utilizo para la Jaula de la cobaya y es genial, se limpia bien y no generamos tantos residuos.

Contrary to many reviews I've read, and even the mfg instructions, we wanted to just wash it in a regular warm wash in the washing machine, and then dried using our tumble dryer. The other ways (cold wash, drip dry) were too time consuming. Delighted that the liner did NOT shrink and continues to fit our midwest perfectly. So, we bought a second one.
