Ahh. That may work. We haven't used bedding in a while but do add some fleece strips for them to "play" in. The only problem I've saw with fleece strips in the cage is them ending up in the water bowl and then Dora trying to sleep in wetness. Her cage is smaller though. Millie has fleece strips in her super condo and loves them and doesn't strew them over to the water at all.
