New to FN, need advice

Hello All,
We just got a FN cage for our two girls, and we are looking for stuff to fill it up with. What are some online stores that sell shelving and fleece items? Also, we are new to fleece liners. Which kind are the best and how often do you change them? Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks!

Well, for fleece items and such, there's a thread on here called the Grand Master Chin Supplier List, which includes fleece sellers that sell fleece items along with FN liners.

Here's the link :

The link listed is a good place to start for vendors, but it is old, so also check the banner at the top of this forum as well as the classifieds. For ideas check out the FN Club thread.

As for the fleece you want blizzard, arctic, anti-pill, polar and ones like that, micro fleece for example is too thin. Another thing to mention with fleece is it's only safe so long as your chins don't eat it, if they eat it it's no longer an option.

You'll want to probably get at least 2 sets of fleece so you can change it out and have one to put in as you wash the other. Depending on how many chins, how many layers of fleece, whether they are litter trained or not and how much they pee, you'll want to change the fleece normally a couple times a week, some people even change it everyday or every other day. Use vinegar (1-2 cups) in the wash no fabric softener or detergent, fabric softener will prevent the fleece from absorbing, and detergent has chemicals and some also contain fabric softener. If you do a search for fleece liners you'll come up with lots to threads of advice detaining pros and cons and stuff like that.
