fleece VS bedding
Fleece vs bedding
OK now some of you may be wondering witch is better?
Fleece vs Bedding if you don't know what either of these things are than fleece is just basically fleece but it's a blanket big enough to fit your pets cage, and you need 2 layers of it plus a cage liner. (so when their moving around they don't mess up the fleece and get it all crumpled up). and if you don't know what bedding is it's called care fresh and it's a type of bedding made of 100% recycled paper. i guess either of them are good to use? or maybe not? here is the pros and cons of it :
Fleece vs bedding:
type:
|
Pros:
|
cons:
|
Care fresh:
|
- it absorbs a lot, it’s 100% recycled paper ; it’s good for the earth, you can use the bedding for a big variety of different animals/pets, and it’s handy to just scoop it out and throw out when your done! (5 pros).
|
- It gets to be really expensive when you need to start buying it weekly.
- it’s really dusty when i gets in the air.
- it can cause a mess when cleaning the cage or, the animal kicks it up out of their cage when it’s running around all the time!
- and it’s not very cuddly and soft and warm and cozy for them to actually get all heating warm in a couple of minutes. (5 cons).
|
Fleece:
|
- it’s nice and cozy for them to sleep in or cuddle up in!,
-it’s way way way more cheaper than bedding,
- it’s less work to clean out the cage ; because you can just take out the fleece hand wash it and let it dry then put it back in the cage!
- it doesn't cause a big mess when you're cleaning out the cage! ; because it doesn't spill all over the place compared to bedding.
- you don’t have to be constantly bringing the compost, or the garbage
can back and forth everyday, just to clean out the cage!
- and, it’s less prone to cause nits because there might be something like a spider in the bedding when packaged or, a spider could crawl in the cage and hide underneath the bedding, so no one can see it! compared to fleece, there won’t be any chance of bugs getting in the cage!( pros)
|
sometimes rarely, the poops get stuck to the fleece but you can easily pick them off when washing the fleece!
- and you need to potty train your guinea pigs/pets before you use fleece; just so there isn’t as big of a mess all the time to clean up (because you have to wash the fleece more, like daily).(2 cons).
|
so really if you think about it fleece is better!

Animal Illnesses and Diseases
Animal sickness or illnesses
HI!
Today I will be talking about animal sickness or illnesses (in your pet/animal).
if you don't know what I am talking about, than I am talking about strategies,
or things that you can or need to do when you pet is sick or has an illness or a
disease. here is how you can tell if you pet has an illness, a disease, or is sick :
- your pet is not eating or drinking at all.
- your pet is hiding in the corner of their cage
- if you pet is really energetic than, it's really shy and slow.
- it's Sneezing a lot.
- it has diarrhea a lot.
- if it has discharge in their eyes
- if they have got dull eyes
- if it's constipated(has trouble going pooping)
- or, if it has a bloated, abdomen.
remember, that if you think your pet might have any of these symptoms than don't even risk their life. call your pet veterinarian, or a veterinarian right away! don't look it up online just call your vet right away! or even better bring it right to the vet right away! don't ever risk your animals life! or leave it alone to suffer. don't wait a few days either. just call your vet right away! and even if your an animal expert you need to still check with your veterinarian.
THANK YOU so much for listening to me! (if you made it this far).

Traveling with Pets
Hey guys,
today I will be teaching you about how to travel with animals. specifically, small pets.
there are 4different ways that you could use to travel with pets :
but if you need advice on how to travel with a different type of animal than, please leave a comment
in the comments below!
how to travel with small pets :
ever wondered "gee how am I going to travel with my rabbit or ferret or etc..."
well, here is some instructions right here! on how to travel with small pets!
step 1 : get your carrier ready!
now first before you try to start anything you've got to find a good affordable, good
sturdy, good quality carrier (that will not fall apart or rip)
now I suggest that you get something perhaps made of plastic and some cozy material inside
now, it cannot be cardboard because that will not absorb any droppings or pee, plus it will not be
sturdy enough and too flimsy and, it could easily fall apart.
step 2: get your items needed ready!
get the food dishes, water bottle (s) or whatever you will need for travelling
also, remember that you must have food, a source of water, and something cozy to lye on
and optional, something to chew.
Step 3 : time to Depart! now you only need to get your pet in the carrier and leave!
getting it in the car : it may be tricky to so here are some options of a safe place to put them :

Step 3 : time to Depart! now you only need to get your pet in the carrier and leave!
getting it in the car : it may be tricky to so here are some options of a safe place to put them :
- put the carrier on someone's lap
- on one of the seats but with the seat belt on so the carrier does not fall.
- in the front under Neath one of the places where you put your feet.
- or somewhere where it will be safe and will not wobble, tip, or fall over.
WARNINGS :
- Never, ever, leave your animal in a carrier unattended
- Carriers should never be used for permanent housing.
- never, ever, put a hard/solid food dish in the carrier because it may slide and harm your piggy
- do not put a water bottle in the carrier as it will leak and make the surface wet,
- and, Never, Ever, travel with a guinea pig if it's not in a travelling cage - holding it on your lap or in a blanket is not acceptable if you're travelling a long distance or even a short distance
- if you have 1 guinea pig the carrier it should be at least : 20(L) x 15 (W) x 12(H) (in inches).but if you have more than one than it should be 1-2 times bigger per each guinea pig
- Talk to them; they will love knowing that you're there with them.
- Make sure that the temperature outside is good before you transport them into something
- If you are travelling for over an hour/hour-and-a-half, always make sure to check up on them every once in a while to make sure they are ok
- make sure they have an unlimited amount of food in the carrier
- and also, make sure that you stop every once in a while to see if they need water because you don't want them to get dehydrated.
Thank you for listening!
