yes, this is actually very environmentally friendly. Just be careful to change the newspaper frequently, as not to develope any odor. Also, if the paper get too wet, and the pig continues to walk on it, they will get sores on their feet. They also might eat the paper, but this is pretty much harmless to then (although I do not recommend it as food).

No, it is not recommended to use newspaper as bedding for guinea pigs as it can be harmful if ingested. It is better to use paper-based bedding or aspen shavings to ensure the safety and comfort of your guinea pigs.
