I believe that it is a possibility for them to be allergic to the aspen bedding. That or it is too dusty for them. I have two piggies and one of them sneezes when i use aspen bedding, but the other is perfectly fine. I hope that it isn't anything more serious than needing to buy a different type of bedding.

Pine and aspen wont really harm your pig but it messes us there nose and irritates there respiratory system, that's what the petsmart and petco people told me so if I were you I'd use carefree.

Is it normal for a baby guinea pig to eat his bedding?
if its beding is hay then yes it normal for any g-pig to eat hay But you should NOT use hay for bedding. Hay is to eat, you should use either aspen (NOT pine) or recycled paper bedding that you buy at the pet store. Improved: Actually, it is normal for guinea pigs to eat their bedding. I know that it is gross, but guinea pigs are supposed to eat their droppings because it gives them necessary nutrients that they don't have time to absorb the first time it goes through their bodies. Recycled paper bedding at the pet store is the best, and the best kind of hay is the KAYTEE brand Timothy hay. Hope that this helps!

Is fleece better for guinea pigs or bedding?
I would have to say fleece is better. It cuts down on the dust for guinea pigs, the bedding does not get stuck in their fur, it is easy on their feet, and the top always stays dry. Note: Do not use regular detergent to wash fleece. Use vinegar and a gentle, scent free detergent (like oxy clean or tide free). Also, fleece is more effective if your guinea pigs' cage is large and there are not many guinea pigs (1-3 guinea pigs). MAKE SURE YOU GET EVERYTHING OFF THE FLEECE BEFORE YOU WASH. Your guinea pigs will be as happy as ever with fleece.
What should i use for guinea pig bedding?
