Easy cleanup
These are great. We have the 2×2 and 2×1 for their underneath hideout. They did shrink a little after washing, which is what we wanted so these would fit my cage better. We deep clean every weekend, so I'm on here to buy one more of each so we don't have to wait on them to finish washing before remaking their cage. I like these because it makes spot cleaning super easy. We only used to loose stuff for a week or two before sporting this in Amazon. I also like the fact it's reusable so it's and "initial investment" but you're saving move long term plus they Guinea's (peanut butter and jelly bean) seem to like it.These are the first piggies we've owned, so I'm glad we stumbled across this right away and avoided the mess.

This is the best fleece ever !
This is the best fleece ever I bought other brands from Amazon but let me tell you I was not disappointed getting this purchase, this completely changed my life because Guinea pigs tend to be very messy and poo and pee a lot the last fleece I had did not absorb right but this absorbs so good and it’s literally dry to touch and easy to clean I bought 2 of them a bit pricey but honestly it’s worth the price honestly because easy to clean doesn’t smell as bad and absorbs nicely and the pigs love it what more can you ask for I love it !

Top Line Cage Liner
For 3 years I have used basic fleece liners for my piggy's cage. They work well, but wear out fast than I would like with frequent cleanings. The current set was getting worn and I decided I wanted to try something a bit different.In three weeks this liner has proven itself to be more absorbent (and my boy likes to try and chew his water and dribbles so that's HUGE) and provided some extra enrichment with a fun hidey hole for his toys/place to sleep.I was hoping this would clean easier than my normal fleeces (you can't use laundry soap, whichcan be challenging) and it is about the same-- but I guess fleece is fleece. Hence one less star.Overall I am super happy with the product and even came in sustainable packaging I could use as an adorable house!

My All Time Favorite Liners!
GuineaDad liners are my absolute favorite. Although the price is high, it shows in quality. The quality is fantastic and works great for my piggies! I only need to wash them once a week.

The only guinea pig bedding you'll ever need to buy
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.

Best pee pads for piggies
These are the best pee pads I have for my two pigs. They usually are on Carefresh in their cage but I use these in their playpen. Very absorbent and easy to clean. Will be ordering more.

These are such a good investment!!!
This is the 2nd one I've purchased now. Not only are these pads soooo much easier than shavings, and so much nicer for my piggy, they look nice and absorb a lot too! The little hidey flap is my pig's favorite. We put her castle under there and she loves hiding in there. Highly recommend!

This product is not fit for purpose
I was really excited to purchase the Guineadad lines for our 2 piggies' C&C cage, as I had read so many good reviews. Unfortunately we have had them 6 months now and are now purchasing different liners as the Guineadad liners are not fit for purpose.When they arrived they appeared great, and were larger than the cage floor to allow for shrinking. We have been careful and followed the Guineadad cleaning instructions carefully, however they quickly shrank to smaller than the cage. The longer liner (2 x 4) is now 3.5 inches shorter in width and over 6 inches shorter in length than the cage.They also don't appear to clean very well, taking a long time to dry, the softness of the fabric quickly wore out, and I find that they retain a bad smell and can still appear soiled after cleaning... again, I have followed Guineadad's instructions carefully and have given the liners a 'deep clean' as suggested on their website, but have not found this helps, and would be very impractical to do this each time (it suggests soaking the blankets in water for 24 - 48 hours).It is such a lot of money and very wasteful in material to have something that is no longer of function, which defeats the object of purchasing something in an attempt to be more environmentally friendly.The one positive of Guineadad liners is that our piggies love the boxes that the liners arrived in and can use these as a house and tunnel. This is a brilliant idea by the company.Fortunately, I purchased fleece liners from an independent small company at the same time, so I have something to compare to. Our other fleece liners have been amazing, have not shrunk, and still feel like new (do not smell, are still soft and are clean) after 6 months. So it is possible to have excellent quality liners.I am really sorry to leave 1 star - I have never left such a negative review before. However, I do not feel that Guineadad is genuine in their advertising of this product which has been so disappointing.I would strongly advise people to look elsewhere for cage liners.

Hände weg!
Derzeit habe ich zwei Meerschweinchen, die sich ein Gehege teilen, das 180cm x 70 cm groß ist. Als ich mit einem Meeri wegen bumble feet zum Tierarzt gehen musste, stellte sich sofort die Frage, wie ich meinem Schweinchen, das wunde Füße hatte, das Leben etwas angenehmer machen konnte. Bisher hatte ich Chipsi benutzt und war damit sehr zufrieden.Bei meiner Suche stieß ich bald auf die Fleece-Einlage von GuineaDad. Der Preis schockte mich, aber die Vorstellung, dass es den Meeris besser gehen würde und ich keine Säcke mehr schleppen müsste, war verlockend. Die Vielzahl positiver Bewertungen tat ihr Übriges. Die erste Hürde bei der Bestellung bestand darin, dass die angegebenen Maße nicht in cm angegeben waren. Das ließ sich aber lösen. Die Bestellung kam sehr schnell und war sehr nett verpackt. Der Karton war mit Meerschweinchen bedruckt und hatte Einstanzungen, sodass man Teile der Pappe heraustrennen und den Karton als Häuschen ins Gehege stellen konnte. Das Fleece fühlte sich kuschelig an und roch nicht. Bei der Lieferung fand ich eine Gebrauchsanweisung, die in englischer Sprache erklärte, wie man das Produkt zu behandeln habe. Dort stand ganz klar, dass man das Flecce täglich von Kot reinigen und nach etwa einer Woche tauschen solle. Dazu gab es einen Sticker und einen vorgefertigten Brief, in dem der Hersteller darum bat, bei Amazon positive Rezensionen zu schreiben, wenn man mit dem Produkt zufrieden ist, und sich direkt an den Hersteller zu wenden, wenn man unzufrieden ist. Ok, das erklärte natürlich, weshalb man bei Amazon nur positive Rezensionen findet.Nach vier Wochen kann ich sagen, dass das Produkt keinesfalls hält, was es verspricht. Nie zuvor hat meine Wohnung nach Urin gerochen...seitdem ich das Fleece von GuineaDad benutze, ist das leider Standard. Morgens entferne ich den Kot, abends muss ich das Fleece tauschen, weil es nass ist. Es lässt sich gut waschen, trocknet aber extrem schlecht, sodass man selbst mit zwei Decken nicht über die Runden kommt, weil man die Decke nicht in den Trockner schmeißen darf.Die angenähte Tasche lieben die Schweine sehr, jedoch liegen sie in der Tasche in ihrem eigenen Urin, da das Fleece Meeris Füßchen eben nicht trocken hält. Ich habe versucht, Streu auf das Fleece zu geben...das saugt zwar, lässt sich aber vom Fleece extrem schlecht entfernen und ist keine Verbesserung zu vorher. Auch saugfähige Wickelunterlagen aus der Drogerie brachten keine Verbesserung...so, nun habe ich 300 € für drei Decken und Erweiterungen ausgegeben und werde mich jetzt nach einer Alternative umsehen.

Shrinkage is more than expected
I purchased the fleece liner as an alternative to disposable bedding for my 2 guinea pigs and I've been impressed by the quality of the product. It makes a huge difference when it comes to the daily clean up and it seems a lot more sanitary than sawdust. The pigs love the fleece, especially the large pocket for them to hide in. No more sawdust kicked up and out of the cage and it does a lot to reduce the noise of them running around at night.The major issue I have with this product is the shrinkage. It does state in the care instructions that you should expect some shrinkage but I did not expect this much... When the fleece first arrived, the ends would fold up about 5-6 centimeters at either end of the cage - after a few months of use the fleece is now 3 centimeters shorter than the cage floor which means excrement and urine gets underneath it and requiring more regular cleaning. This is despite following the care/washing instructions to the letter. It's really disappointing because the fleece is expensive and would otherwise be fantastic. I've since purchased other cheaper fleeces from different sellers and have not experienced the same problem.

Don't waste your money.
Don't be fooled by the reviews. Unless you have a separate washing machine just for Guinea pigs don't waste your money on this item like I did. Both dryer and washing machine stink of Urine after cleaning and full of Guinea pigs hair and hay no matter how much you shake, brush and hoover the soaking wet liners out. Careful you don't get covered in urine in the process. Going in the bin. Very disappointed.

Better In Theory Than Practice
After having sawdust constantly on the carpet and the minor inconvenience of having to bag the sawdust up every other day for cleaning I thought this seemed a good idea. When new- the bedding is excellent. It fits nicely, soft and comfortable and avoids sawdust causing a mess.It is not cheap and at about £70 it needs to be top quality and totally effective. This is the reason for my rating being three stars really.You would have to change and wash the blanket every 3 days maximum to keep it from beginning to smell bad. It then has so much hair and dirt on it that the washing machine has a job on its hands. So to use this effectively you’ll need two blankets and to be washing them every other day. I don’t mind that and it isn’t the quality of the product that is the issue really- it’s the impracticality of it and the fact that for all that money you don’t save much time. In actual fact as GPs tend to go under the blanket I have found myself spending more time cleaning their cage than I did previously.So in summary the quality is decent but as a product it doesn’t really deliver the benefit you might be hoping for. A lot of reviews on Amazon are people who have just received their blanket and I would agree that it is great at first, but over time the issues will emerge.They last about 3/4 months before they are discoloured and need replacing which again given the cost makes it a less obviously good purchase than I originally imagined it would be.
