Best Answer

All guinea pigs have their own, individual personality. It could be because it is more comfortable on the house, or they just like the view. Also, guinea pigs like to be clean, so if the ground below is filthy, they wouldn't want to lie down on that would they?

Is fleece better for guinea pigs or bedding?

I would have to say fleece is better. It cuts down on the dust for guinea pigs, the bedding does not get stuck in their fur, it is easy on their feet, and the top always stays dry. Note: Do not use regular detergent to wash fleece. Use vinegar and a gentle, scent free detergent (like oxy clean or tide free). Also, fleece is more effective if your guinea pigs' cage is large and there are not many guinea pigs (1-3 guinea pigs). MAKE SURE YOU GET EVERYTHING OFF THE FLEECE BEFORE YOU WASH. Your guinea pigs will be as happy as ever with fleece.
