Aspen or pine shavings are great to use for guinea pig bedding, You can also use corncob or pelleted litter, made from newspaper, these are also absorbent but may be hard on your guinea pigs feet as they have very sensative feet. You cannot use Cedar shavings because they are too toxic smelling for your guinea pigs authough they may smell nice to you.

Grass, soil, peat etc. aren't the best bedding for rabbits because they're pretty messy. Also, it could have fertiliser or other poisonous chemicals on it.
Rabbits litter-train pretty easily. Litter-training your bunny is cleaner than just putting bedding down all over the cage.
Possible bedding/litter material for rabbits includes:
- Newspaper
- Hay
- Straw (okay as a litter but rabbits should also have unlimited access to hay for grazing)
- Aspen chips/shavings (do not use cedar or pine as they've been indicated in liver disease)
- Wood stove pellets (do not use the kind covered in accelerant - plain ones only!)
- Yesterday's News brand
- Carefresh brand
- Boxo brand
Only use materials that are safe for the rabbit to eat, because bunnies often nibble a bit on their litter. Do not use clay cat litter: it will clump in the digestion and cause fatal impaction. Do not use wheat or corn-based litters because they're not healthy: they can lead to obesity, general ill-health, or even deadly GI stasis.
