Fleece/polyester?

[jordanln97]

I'm putting a blanket in rocco's cage to substitute my missing bedding, and I thought it was fleece, but it's actually polyester. Is this chin-safe? It's not in the cage yet.

All fleece is made out of polyester.

Not all fleece, the fleece I use for my mattresses in the hidey houses is hemp/organic cotton, no polyester involved. Hemp fleece is way more absorbant than regular polyester fleece.

So, it's chin-safe but not as absorbent?

Where do you buy the hemp/cotton blend? I have never seen anything but polyester in the stores.

I buy it online, the fabric lasts forever and wicks up pee really well, no yellow bottoms or tails in my bunch! Since the website has some "leaves" on it that are not family friendly I won't post the link but you can google it!

Gotcha. Thanks! I'll check it out. My fleece, as long as it isn't washed with fabric softener, absorbs well, but I'm always on the hunt for something even better.
