GuineaDadOriginal Liner - Purple Fleece Guinea Pig Bedding - Reusable Guinea Pig Cage Liner - Extra Absorbent with Waterproof Bottom and Burrowing Pocket - Small Pet Supplies - 2x3 C&C

My guinea girls are a little particular about their liners. They love Guinea Dad liners because of the pouch and the consistent cross pattern in the quilting. I like that they're easy for daily clean ups as well as for regularly washing. They do take a while to dry, but that's common on products that are designed to retain moisture.

I've been using my GuineaDad 2.0 fleece liners for about a month now, and I'm very impressed. I've tried paper bedding, puppy pads, fleece blankets with Uhaul furniture blankets underneath, and all of them had some terrible flaw. Paper bedding is very wasteful and expensive and not particularly easy to keep clean. Puppy pads are extremely dangerous since guinea pigs love to chew them and end up with impactions. Fleece blankets and furniture pads have to be cut to fit the cage (otherwise you have to deal with a lumpy, misshapen folded blanket), they may not be absorbent if not prepared correctly, and vacuums suck up the fleece. It took some courage to take the plunge with GuineaDad, since it is a significant financial investment upfront, but it is so worth it.The liners are designed to fit my Midwest cage; they're a little bit bigger, to allow for possible shrinkage from washing/drying, which I appreciate. As soon as you take the liner out of the box you can tell that it's a well made, high quality product. The liners are so thick and plush, perfect for delicate little pig feet, with a waterproof bottom to keep urine from soaking through and soiling the cage itself. One end of the liner has a fleece pocket for pigs to burrow under, which brings me to another point: My pigs don't burrow under these blankets! When I used regular fleece blankets, the pigs would always tunnel underneath, push them all over the place, and leave a big poopy mess. The combination of the fleece pocket, the thickness and heaviness of the liner, and the way it fits the cage perfectly and sits flush without gaps means that pigs are much less inclined to burrow. The fleece pocket is prone to getting sucked up by vacuums, but it's easy to just lift the end of the blanket up and shake or brush debris onto the quilted part, where you can easily vacuum it up. If your pigs aren't interested in the pocket then you can also just fold it inside out so that it sits underneath the waterproof liner and reveals the quilted part underneath. The heaviness of the quilted liner means you'll have no issue going over it with a cordless vacuum, which makes cleanup incredibly easy.Smell is non-existent with these. They are super absorbent and wick urine down inside the liner; I've never noticed any wet spots. If you have older or sickly pigs who absolutely need to be dry, these would be perfect.I have three guinea pigs, in two Midwest cages. I have two sets of two GuineaDad liners so that I will always have a clean set waiting at any time; instead of having to wait for them to be washed, I can just take the dirty one out, pop a clean one in, and do the laundry at my leisure. I pick up their poop by hand every day, multiple times a day, and clean up food debris with a tiny broom/dust pan set and a cordless vacuum as needed. I machine wash and dry the GuineaDad liners once a week. It's that simple. No other bedding option has been this easy to manage, and it's fantastic not having the ongoing costs of disposable bedding.As far as negatives, I will say that I don't like having to wash them in cold water to avoid shrinkage. As you probably know, guinea pig bedding has the potential to get absolutely disgusting if daily spot cleanings aren't done, and it's instinctive to want to throw the bedding in the washer with very hot water and a cup full of bleach. With cold water, sometimes there can be stuck-on bits of boar glue or other mysterious substances left on the blanket after washing, so it's worth checking the blanket over beforehand and pre-treating with stain remover or just giving the spots a quick scrub with laundry detergent before putting them in the machine. If they ever come out with a GuineaDad liner that can be washed in hot water and bleach, I will find some way to give it 6 stars. But for the most part it's not really an issue to wash them in cold water, and they dry just fine on the low setting too (though I think I will start air-drying mine to protect my investment here).So far, after almost a month of usage and several washings, my liners are not showing any wear. I will update this review if any issues arise.I am not a shill, and I paid full price for all four of the liners I purchased so my review is absolutely not biased. I have really struggled with keeping my cages clean in the past and dealing with bedding options that just didn't work. These liners make it so much easier, and you can tell that they were designed by someone who actually owns guinea pigs and knows exactly what we need from our bedding. Seeing how happy my pigs are in a neat, tidy, clean, dry, and smell-free cage is worth every single penny I paid for my GuineaDad liners.

The pigs love this liner and being able to cuddle into the pocket. It stays plush and hasn't shrunk. They make it a little bigger so that it will shrink to the right size but I have not experienced shrinking and love that it hasnt. For anyone using fleece liners these are by far the best I have bought. I also reccomend getting a linen bag to wash them in so that tiny bits of hay and dust won't get into the washer if you don't get every bit brushed off.

I have two other liners from a different brand this one by Guinea dad is by far the best. The other ones barely fit this one has extra length that goes up the sides so my guinea pigs droppings don't slip underneath the liner and the pocket gives her an extra space to hide. Cute and comfortable, easy to wash. We love it.

Excellent product

Is a space piece so doble check if your trying to get the big one thia one a not , robust quality, this is the fleece i put underneath the food bowl

When I got piggy's of course I heard about guinea pig dad and their liners. I kept going back and forth on if it was worth the price.This liner is amazing! My piggy's love each other and did from the start. Bonding didn't take long at all. But they don't snuggle together often. When they have this liner they snuggle all the time

I do not write reviews......and I was super hesitant in purchasing because of the cost. I have a friend that has one and swears by it. We are going through so many puppy pads because I place them under washable pads we currently use, and it's become really expensive. I also have a cat that will only use puppy pads, but that's another story! Long story short we go through some puppy pads. My husband and I decided to try this as you really don't need a puppy pad under. Just after unboxing I am IMPRESSED! The quality is unlike anything I could every reproduce at home on my own. It's guinea pig luxury. I have other purchased washable liners and have made ones with fleece. This is on a different level. I plan to get another as we have two Midwest cages together and need one for washing days. I just washed this last night as you have to wash before use so unsure of the quality once I start using. I have to say if you are on the fence about this, I would go for it. You cannot beat the quality. It came in a box that turns into a crunchy house (so cute and piggies love!) and a cut sticker. It also came with a little piece cut, probably to see the quality and layers, but I will be placing under the ever-dripping water bottle. I love that this company is making something so wonderful for guinea pigs and would highly suggest supporting them!

These beds are worth the upfront cost for sure, they pay for themselves within a year and they make the cage so easy to spot clean. They're sturdy too, I wash mine 1-2 times a week in the washer and dryer and they look like they did the day I got them. I wish you could purchase custom sizes but having one slightly larger prevents leaks in the corners. Our pigs also love to hide in the pockets. Overall awesome liners

I am positively very surprised by the quality of the liner. I have tried many liner, ones with no water proof back and ones with water proof backing. for those with water proof backing, it usually makes the back of the liner feels wet and sticky, also takes longer to dry but it is not the case for GuineaDad Liner!! It is dry for the piggies, it is also dry and not sticky for me! The way they sew the liner prevents the absorbent layer to shift unevenly within the liner, after wash, everything is in place nicely. Sometime I put additional liner on some area and my piggy will start digging everwhere to go to the GuineaDad Liner, they love it sooo muchh! It is indeed the best liner for piggies

Fantastic product for guinea pig cage liners. Waterproof and easy to daily spot clean and they wash up perfectly for next use. After trying many different kinds of liners I’ve found these to be the best.

We have had those fleece liners for about a year now, washed many many times and they are still in great shape. The piggies love the hide out pockets and we are happy that we could reduce garbage and endless purchases of paper bedding. Shipment was fast, too. Can definitely recommend.

This is by far the best fleece liner I've ever used for the piggies. The piggies love the hood (very clever design) and often take cover in there, sleep in there. The fleece absorbent is superb and best--it doesn't stink even after 80 hours in the cage. Other liners do but this is awesome. Would consider to get another if there's a discount :)
