I read on another website about people using sections of fleece in their guinea pig cages. I thought about doing so for my dwarf hamsters but as soon as I thought about it, I remembered their need to dig and burrow.
I understand that rats like to as well, but I was wondering if it was wise or good for the rat if I were to use fleece or a similar material as their bedding, taking it out every few days to wash it and cleaning up poo daily.
It seems like a nice, eco-friendly and cheap way to keep soft bedding in your rats cage.

I use towels and fleece in my rats cage  The towels I change every five days (but I also have 4 rats in a cage big enough for 10) and the fleece scraps I change out every 2 days. I quick vac the poop every day sometimes every other day.
Sometimes I do house my girls in only half the cage. When I do this I change the towels every 3 to 4 days, and fleece is still changed out every 2 days.
For more on using towels and fleece, a more in depth description on how I clean my cage, and even pictures of my girls cage, you can check out the link below
