Pime bedding is really the best you can get. You can get it at your local feed store.
pine bedding and cedar should not be used for guinea pig bedding because the oils can irratate them and cause respiratory problems which can be serious. I reccomend asphen for your pet guinea pig.The best bedding is hay wood bedding solf cotton bedding

∙ 12y agoWell, that's every ones opinion BUT to me I've tried a few different types and found that the best one with Oder control and my little piggy LOVES it is pine bedding. It is good for your pet AND good for the world. I highly suggest pine bedding you can find it in the pet section at your local Walmart. I'm sure that your guinea pig will love it to because it's safe and easy to use!

∙ 15y agoI like to use recycled paper products like Carefresh. Aspen shavings are good, but avoid cedar shavings. They have aromatic oils that can be harmful when they are inhaled.

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.
