Guinea Pig Fleece! Pro Tips

[@pianoman9685]

We love this kind caring man

[@karenwarner8743]

You are welcome and yes MI is for Michigan (I live at the base of the thumb on the mitten 😉) I wash it 3 times and dry it before i sew with it. This preps the fleece so it will wick away the pee and be absorbed into the middle layer. Washing instructions: wash in cold or warm water with "Free" laundry soap and some clear vinegar, do not use fabric softener, and dry on low or medium.

[@marijkeotter-delange1860]

Goodwork ❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍

[@angtinkful]

I was wondering were in Michigan you are located I live in Michigan too and love the fleece you made if you could contact me though Email [e-mail]

[@maggiej121]

Karen Warner Do you have an online shop? I would love to buy from you. Do you use u-haul material for the absorbent layer?

[@lorrainenolan3696]

You're a wonderful person!!! Xxx

[@ScottysAnimals]

I guess you are in business now Karen!

[@lissapepper]

I love how they all got excited when you opened the package. Too cute. Don't feel guilty. You're an awesome Guinea dad. Mines getting spoiled even more because I've learned so much from you.

[@violetone]

Mine have also have a better life thanks to Scotty. I made mine a deal when I rescued them, That I could not control their past, but I would make their lives a little better each day. Today I discovered they like Chicory, tomorrow we will see :) These videos help so much with that.

[@lissapepper]

@@violetone good deal. :) I rescued mine from being snake food. Today I found a small cyst on the back of her neck that bothers her a bit so vets ASAP :( she's only a baby, under 6 montgs

[@violetone]

@@lissapepper It blew my mind when I found there were many bred for that. Good on you. That is a major improvement on the day before you saved her, hey :) One of mine came pregnant. I hope she is okay and its nothing major.. How long have you had her?

[@lissapepper]

@@violetone oh my babies. I've had her 2-3 months but I've had guineas off and on for years but I never knew how naive I was til I came across Scotty and saskia from la Guinea pig rescue. There's no resources like them in my area of the states at all really. The closest recues are a few hours away and they're maxed out

[@violetone]

@@lissapepper agreed. There is a severe lack here, but that's part of being down under. I found one nearby, but discovered they were also breeders and it just didn't feel right. I have been looking for places I can volunteer. When time allows I'll set up my own rescue and try to make a dent in Australia at least. The need is epic. And each pig makes a difference in my book. I've always planned to move into rescue, now I know what at least. I realised I knew nothing and thankfully found scotty and saskia. I'm still learning. And just when I need to know they post a video.

[@rach2111]

I love how this dude is always so appreciative of gifts.

[@alv7990]

thank YOU Scotty!!! you will never know how grateful I am for all of your 101 tips...

[@mszoomy]

When I first got my girls I was using that carefree bedding. Fleece seemed to expensive because they're usually around $60 a pop which for me is chunk of cash to shell out. But in the long run they pay for themselves and you're not throwing out shavings or bedding every week. Fleece is so much easier to care for and I think the piggies like it better too. Glad to see the boys in the pocket, I can't say how much I love the Guinea Dad liners!!

[@surferbee19]

Sing away Scotty! Love your vids and awesome piggy tips! Thank you :)

[@atreb56]

That was so kind of the lady who sent you the fleece. Scott is a caring person also by giving his piggies CBD.

[@22MSDALLAS]

Scotty you are so funny. Love watching your old videos 😍

[@reesemize1936]

Scotty you are the reason I'm getting a guinea pig thanks to the information you provided my dad said yesssssss

[@constance1972]

Karen did a beautiful job on the fleece! I love the tie dye!

[@lisaclark5427]

You crack me up. I've just started watching your videos as my son's birthday is today and he is getting guinea pigs for his birthday. I've been busy making a bunch of stuff for the piggies and their new home so we've been doing a lot of research on piggies and cages, etc...and I enjoy your videos. Love the cactus and tie-dye fleece, Karen! Love the pigs too.❤️

[@Chgomom]

You are a good person. I think you are very deserving of gifts. I hope more good things come your way. From new fan from Chicago.

[@maggiej121]

Scotty you're like a kid on Christmas day! 😊 That cage looks great, everything's looking so coordinated & Pipsqueak looks happy. He so sweetly waited patiently for you to apply that cbd gel. So precious! God bless that generous lady who sewed together such beautiful fleece. I'm a huge fleece fan. 👍👍👍💟💜💙

[@ScottysAnimals]

Yes I'm so appreciative of Karen, bless you to Maggie thank you!

[@rollensmith1408]

Maggie J , Pipsqueak just had to photobomb Timmy’s moment...LOL

[@pedwards4367]

Wow! That was really nice of Karen! Beautiful work! I'm happy she did that for you!

[@winciewillis6506]

Oh those fleeces were lovely how thoughtful the look on your 😔 Scottie was adorable your eyes lit up the room and the Guinea s loved it. ♥

[@Venuszenith]

Scotty you're such a nice person I love watching your video's and how you care so much for Animals.

[@ScottysAnimals]

What about a fruity poops t-shirt with a guinea pig I guess it would have to be Timmy instead of two can Sam?! I will get on that next week. I love all of you guys you are hilarious

[@tracilord4854]

You are crackin me up! 😂😂😂

[@meashkah]

Scotty's Animals genius

[@lorie6667]

Anything with Timmy on it! I adore that little guy!

[@joypetitjean3538]

Man you need a head mounted go pro. Much better instead of changing angles all the time. Do you follow @skinnypigs1?

[@paularoberts49]

Omg I love that ! Make it happen Scotty. Love from sunny Australia

[@sophiejoy1958]

With the help of this video I have joined the fleece-lover army! Thank you for this!

[@lorie6667]

Beautiful fleece! I love fleece leaps and bounds over anything else. It's so clean and keeps things odor free. Not to mention you can change out to some really cute prints! We line ours with uhaul pads which is recycled denim. Don't feel guilty for not doing it sooner - you're doing it now - he is so happy and mobile. You're an incredible Guinea Pig Dad and they all know it.

[@lauramarsh8047]

Love this guys commentary! Way more funny than half the stuff on tv

[@rollensmith1408]

I made a liner from fleece and it was very time consuming and pricey as my piggies habitat is 3’ x 6’ and when looking for a more affordable solution that would be absorbent but still dry well, I came across mover’s blankets at the local Home Depot. They were the perfect size and I was able to get a dozen of them for what it cost me to make one fleece liner and my piggies love it. Just a suggestion to anyone on a tight budget or who don’t sew. And thank you, Scotty for your channels, I swear your my brother from another mother...LOL

[@miekocronk6991]

Rollen Smith how do you clean it. All the movers blankets I looked at say they are not machine washable

[@Pennypumpernickelpp]

how incredibly thoughtful!! people can be so kind.

[@jennifermartin1263]

I can't thank you enough for your videos. I love, love guinea pigs. Hubby won't let me have any more since George died because I am allergic to guinea pigs and insanely allergic to hays and mold. You have a soft low voice that I can listen to when I have a migraine and can't read. Your videos save me on bad days.

[@kainapplekreatures5855]

I had to try and explain what I was cackling about to my partner because he could hear me across the apartment through his headphones during the guinea pig cereal commentary. He was so confused, lol.

[@ScottysAnimals]

Lunch Bunch Piggies, we have inside jokes now! #Fruitypoops

[@angiepayne9790]

Love the new fleece! Super happy for you!♡

[@SkromnitsaKrasotka]

made me cry, how kind!

[@getreal98]

Omg I’m so jealous..glad Timmy is getting the extra comfort. I did bust up at your singing..love it lol and now my husband is singing it...

[@ScottysAnimals]

Holly lol

[@getreal98]

Now we’re really like kindred spirits...I’m bird sitting for my aunt...her cockatiel “pumpkin” is at my house for 10 days :) my house has 7 guinea pigs a cockatiel and 2 dogs. Full house lol

[@tracilord4854]

Lol

[@DaxxLexx]

I make my fleece liners too, I've always like being crafty so I used it as a chance to buy my first sewing machine. Worthy investment. Making a lot of pee pads really made a big difference too. I put them anywhere they like to sleep in, makes it really easy to spot clean. Timmy is really lucky to have a dad like you.

[@vickywhite8586]

Haha, you are fun and humorous! Whistling and singing while you work.

[@faith5563]

Karen has a super fleece making talent. Lucky piggies in Scotty's care.

[@wendimerrill2710]

"trippy side up" I love this dude!

[@meashkah]

Scotty, I’m so happy for Timmy. He’s so lucky to have you as a dad. I loved how excited and genuinely happy and grateful you were for the liners. ❤️ lol @ #fruitypoops

[@ScottysAnimals]

#fruitypoops lol

[@MotherOfWednesday]

I have been through hind leg deterioration with a few of my boy rats. The switch to fleece has helped them maintain more mobility in the cage every time. Lucky boy Timmy

[@MelodyLovesMusic]

I'm really liking this better than paper bedding because it's a cleaner dust free environment, it's easier to maintain clean, you just shake off the droppings, or brush them away, then wash and replace. I think the little piggies are in a safer, cleaner home this way. Better for all concerned. Their health is ours too.

[@ScottysAnimals]

One secret that I found is definitely run the dirty fleece under the shower and rinse off all that absorbed pee otherwise they will never smell clean and I pity the people using the washer afterwards

[@jessicastevens4931]

@@ScottysAnimals .... using white vinegar mixed in water (in addition to clear and clear detergent) is a life saver....takes the smell out. I put in the spot where bleach is supposed to go in the washer ( i never use bleach anyway). I also tend to run my washer on a rinse/clean cycle before doing our regular clothes in the washer :-)

[@mariam_4me]

This fleece looks much better! And my appendix is still with me 😂

[@alisonlouise6406]

I’m 49 on Tuesday and I get my first ever guinea pigs on Sunday I’m super excited....but so nervous I wanna do right by my new friends so I’m gonna be binge watching 😍

[@locosuppressor6900]

I use those types of fleece inserts for our girls. So easy to use and I love the different patterns you can get.

[@imaginekelly7603]

After watching this, I'm going to make a trip to the fabric store and get same fleece. Thank you Scotty!

[@jessicak.8910]

Throw back! This is such a cute video. Look how excited you were!

[@AT-ov2wi]

Great singin" , hilarious lyrics, awesome piggys and advice and heart!

[@jenvan3273]

Love the colors

[@JulieStokes1970]

OMG dude you make me laugh so much. Thanks for all the tips. Being a first time piggie owner you have helped greatly. Thanks dude

[@paularoberts49]

That cactus is Adorbs for your little guy. Karen is awesome.

[@violetone]

They will help lots. I have one in same fabric. Put the extra one in high traffic areas and the main fleece will last longer between washes. I'm a fleece girl

[@brightsmiles3792]

Guinea pigs are spoiled and very much loved ❤️

[@agamble1126]

Timmy was so patient letting you put the oil on him. Our guineas only stand that still for veggies.

[@ValeriesZoo]

You know I have been waiting years for you to come over to the fleece lover dark side muwahahahaha

[@ScottysAnimals]

I was waiting for you to chime in Valerie! It's only because of Timmy

[@ValeriesZoo]

Timmy deserves only the best!

[@daisyvang1576]

I, too, have joined the fleece lover dark side, because it's a better option for my piggies lol!

[@ValeriesZoo]

@@daisyvang1576I think scott has really joined the dark side, hes talking about how he can match his rainbow log tunnel to the different prints!

[@tracilord4854]

🤣🤣🤣 it took me a little bit also, but now that I did in happy. I still do use a little potty in the corner with bedding in it because mine go pee in that so all I have to do is sweep up poops 😊😊😊

[@leeny03cosens38]

I use fleece as well. I use puppy pads and an extra chloroplast bottom to secure the fleece. I treat the chloroplast and fleece with a 2/3 water, 1/3 vinegar mixture.

[@ScottysAnimals]

Thank you for the recipe, it sounds delicious! LOL

[@wolfgirlsurvivor925]

My piggies are going to be on fleece. I've been researching like crazy on food,best bedding cages etc. I watch you and LA and skinnypigs1 I think is her channel. I learn everything before I get a pet so they'll have the best life possible 💖. I really really love the tie dye and cactus fleece liner it's adorable!!! Seeing timmy so happy is so sweet 😍!

[@susanaponte1579]

Oh, Timmy, what a blessed piggy! So, so happy for Timmy, he deserves it! I am waiting on getting some Guineadad liners soon, they look great! Scotty I use fleece too, in both my cages, everything is fleece, and you can put a piece of large absorbent material under the piggy pocket in the Guineadad liner so it doesn't get as bad under there, and you can use it a few more days! You are hilarious in this video, and the reason it has two sides of design is because you can flip it over and use the cactus design one time and the tie dye the next time! Please kiss Timmy for me!

[@ScottysAnimals]

Kissed!

[@piratelynn3482]

I have just found you. You are hysterical!

[@lotsoflove5378]

lol i love your voice when you did the little fruity poops commercial youre so funny dude

[@SkromnitsaKrasotka]

i love fleece liners and put layers of newspapers underneath, last about a week with daily picking up poo-poo bullets)) also use small fleece pads for sleeping and eating spots that I flip over when wet...

[@Blumad3410]

The white piggie in the back is like where is my love at n my treats lol

[@peggygrabowski2604]

That fleece is really fantastic!!!

[@MotherOfWednesday]

It looks perfectly color coordinated with the house and bendy bridge

[@bunberrier]

Its a happy world in there. Here's my Pro Tip. If you use a frontload washer like I do, it will want to spin fast to dry them out at the end. My fleece load for some reason will never balance out. The material is light but the water is heavy. It spins, wobbles, stops and tosses the load back and forth to try to balance it, then tries again... many times. Fleece is delicate, so all this tossing about isnt good for it. I found the solution was choose no spin at the end of the cycle. Then let it sit for about 10 minutes to let most of the water drip out. Then run a seperate spin only cycle. It spins right up to high speed on the first try. This saves wear on the fleece, saves power, and actually takes less time.

[@neonnsteel]

"Cause the pigs spent some time in the dessert" nice

[@jennypettry9370]

Great job Karen they are awesome

[@melslife4715]

Yesss don't you just love fleece it's so nice and easy to clean 😍

[@nishitareddy1036]

We got our order today. We are very happy with it so far and Guinea pigs love it too. Had one question though. Can we put it in the dryer? During winters I don’t think we can fry it out.

[@erkheth]

I never had my appendix out. Also its a great fleece liner, I need a sowing machine! And some trippy material. Guinea dad fleece looks like it holds up well. Found u on Instagram too. If u ever host a radio show, ppl would love ur commentary.

[@ScottysAnimals]

Joann's Fabrics or believe it or not Walmart are the two places that I know to get good fleece

[@erkheth]

Hey a good bargain is always worth it! I've got plenty for my bunny on sale:D

[@c.c7593]

The grey piggy is sooooo cute

[@aprilbolivar4719]

I love your commentary too 😂 I plan on using fleece liners and pee pads for our guinea pig which we haven't got yet. But I want a perfect home for him or her when she or he arrives. Plus the best care and your videos are helping so much.

[@nancykhumalo2904]

Oh my gosh🤣🤣🤣🤣I love your sense of humor Scotty

Awww we all 💕 you and all the babies. I got some Mary’s CBD OIL and a few other things through LAGPR TODAY. so glad it came in

Love the announcer voice!

[@amandamackey8149]

i hope u see this even though this video is really old but I love learning stuff from you and your very funny

[@violetone]

Other tip put a bit of vinegar in with wash.it helps clean it and wicking. Don't use fabric softener or the pee won't wick. Mine love fleece. Keeps their feet dry. I Also have smaller ones I put under the tunnels and houses as this is where they Dirty the most.

[@lissapepper]

Thanks for the tip! I'm just getting the guineadad fleece today and mines getting a new hidey and water bottle. She's getting spoiled even more thanks to Scotty 😂

[@violetone]

@@Stitchmad1243 Just simple dirt cheap white vinegar. It cost me $1 for 2 Litres. I put about 2 TBSP in the wash and the same as a rinse instead of fabric softener. It gets the muck (like white spots etc) and smell out and they absorb the urine a lot better. I find they also last longer between washes.

[@violetone]

@@lissapepper NIce, she will love it. Mine Zoom around on the fleece a lot more than they did on shavings. When i rescued them they had only known newspaper. You will have a very happy girl. I have a herd of 5 females and they live a life of soft furnishing :) Wheek Wheek

[@violetone]

@@Stitchmad1243 I'm in Melbourne Australia :)

[@notadiary4911]

Do you put anything underneath it?

[@cobykonneor]

I just got some fleece for my piggies to see how they react. I've only had them for a few weeks now, so I'm trying to get to know them and their personalities better. We just put fleece in today and they immediately started popcorn-ing. I also quickly noticed the difference once I removed the bedding from the house. I've been having to use my inhaler a lot since I got them. Hoping fleece will help with asthma. Only downfall is we have a huge setup and plan to expand more, so will definitely have to buy lots more fleece.

[@mina-de6tp]

you are so consistent.

[@tracilord4854]

So happy for you & Timmy! It was so funny to see Pipsqueek video bombing! Lol 🤣🐹❤ he's like "what's going on over there? I want in on it. Lol they get new bedding huh what about me" 😂😂😂

[@justananimegirl2780]

Hi Scotty, ive discovered your channel through the shelters youtube channel. I just have a couple of questions: 1. What cleaners do you use to clean the bottoms of the cages? 2. Where can I find a guinea pig shelter? I live in Michigan and I dont wanna just shop for a piggie because of the treatment given to their pets.

[@joannekucks4343]

I’ve just put the last of my aspen shavings in my Cocoa’s cage and will now switch to fleece and towels.

[@Sumpfhexe]

Guineadad made my life with fleece so so easy I can't believe it and the piggies love it so much. My 8 year old lady is running again :D

[@sayardg1531]

Wondering where you get CBD oil for your guineas? I have a senior pig with joint inflammation and I think she may benefit from it. TIA!

[@mayamarshmallow6321]

Hello from Canada 🇨🇦 first of all thank you for your amazing educational videos! My guinea pig goes under the fleece and does not come out for long periods of time. I’m afraid he will suffocate! I had clipped the fleece to the borders but he still manages to get under the blanket! Your thoughts are appreciate. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@patmyer5917]

I love watching you with the piggies! I am currently looking for a cbonded pair, preferably one would be a sheltie.

[@unexpectedknowhowsnoel4146]

I would love one of those ‘fruity poops’ t- shirts!!

[@popdelix581]

Whoa wait a minute this dude is awesome af

Oh I just use adult washable bed protectors do similar thing have admit they do smell after a day but I wash them every day anyway. Know it works well since my daughter heavy sleeper so use them for her.

[@derpderpderphurr]

How big is your cage? I think have an extra 2x4 fleece for you! /I had my appendix out at 13

[@jillking23]

Scotty can you use that oil for arthritis on dogs ears also? ..and Ty!

[@jessicak.8910]

I'm really struggling with this. I have tried pine, paper, pine / wood pellets, pellets with fleece over, fleece with uhaul, fleece with batting, fleece and puppy pads, felt and puppy pads, felt and fleece and fleece with a bedding kitchen.. I have 6 piggies separated into 2 groups of 3. Idk why but every pet bedding has given my piggies mites. Idk why I see so many people with bedding and they dont have a problem. So weird. I hate all the dust in my house too. But the fleece does make my piggies smell and I hate that they have to lay next to their poop since it doesn't fall between the layers of pine. I change my fleece out daily right now and I don't mind about that I actually like that because I can interact with them more. I am just having a really bad time with this and wish there was more videos about this. Both my houses for the 3 groups are each a 4x3.5 c&c.

[@amberchilds673]

i gotta buy some fleece there adorable
