type of fleece for cage liners??

[Sdo9396]

Hi everyone I'm trying to make my own cage liners for my FN 142 and I was wondering if the type of fleece really matters? I saw that there was an anti-pill fleece but there's also a fleece that's not specified as the anti-pill and the label says that it's 100% polyester. Is this fleece ok to use in the cages??

I only use anti-pill or blizzard fleece for my chins.

so is the 100% polyester fleece not safe for chins?

 

[Stackie]

If I remember correctly, technically all fleece is polyester.

ohhh hmm...I wonder what the difference is then since it's not labeled as "anti-pill"..I'm asking because I went to look at fleece and the cute printed fleeces at walmart were not labeled anti-pill just 100% polyester so I was wondering if I could buy those. the only anti-pill they had were just solid prints =(

Anti pill means that after washes, the fleece won't get little balls all over it, which can be easily ingested.

All of the fleece at Walmart that I have boughten have all been anti pill I'm sure you could as who ever is working in the fabric section to see if they know.

Is snuggie made of fleece?

good question Mookie! i was looking at my snuggie that i never use and was considering cutting it up to make shelf liners for my house guest Gery. her cage is a crappy one with wire shelves and because of that she spends most of her time in her hammock or in her empty dust house. if the snuggie would work that would be awesome!

thanks for the info everyone!!

Is snuggie made of fleece?

The one my girlfriend has is. It should say 100% polyester on the tag

I use any kind of fleece. I watch store clearance racks for the $4 fleece throws and make liners and accessories out of those, too. The anti-pill stuff is just higher quality, but my chins don't mess with the fleece so I don't worry about them eating it, regardless of the quality.

okay! time to get out the scissors and hack some snuggie up! lol. the blue will match Gery's cage too, yay!
