You know that faint smell that hits you when you walk past their space? It’s not just you. Most guinea pig and rabbit parents feel guilty and frustrated because no matter how often they scrub, the mess and odor come back within hours.

• The hidden cost of paper bedding: Paper and shavings absorb moisture unevenly and need frequent changes. Over time, they create ammonia buildup that isn’t healthy for pets.

• Why fleece liners fail: Fleece is a better option, but most liners aren’t thick or absorbent enough. They fill with liquid quickly, forcing owners to wash them every day.

• The 60‑second cleaning myth: Many people believe they need to dedicate an hour to cage cleaning daily. In reality, a properly designed liner can cut cleaning time down to five minutes once a week.
