Along with timothy hay another good bedding source is Kiln dried Pine Shavings. BEside being a comfortable way to sleep, it is cheeper than most bedding and guinea pigs don't need to eat it so unlike timothy hay they never have to worry about eating their pee or poo. Because that would be very nasty. Don't ever use Cedar Bedding thought it is bad for guinea pigs and can KILL them :( The cedar bedding is bad because the strong smell can cause respiratory problems.
Guinea pigs can also be kept on wood shavings (not sawdust!) and many companies also sell large bales of shredded cardboard which makes excellent piggy bedding (this is often sold for horses who are allergic to wood shavings and is usually available mail-order)

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!

I know this because when I got my guieana pig, the owner said that its healther for your guieana pig because theres less dust to ruin your guieana pig's eyes.
Why does a young Guinea Pig sneeze somewhat often and eat his bedding that you use Carefresh on?
Young Guinea Pigs may sneeze if they are sensitive to dust or allergens in the bedding, especially if it's not cleaned and changed often. Eating bedding may indicate a nutritional deficiency or boredom; ensure the Guinea Pig has enough hay and fruits/vegetables in their diet, and consider providing more enrichment activities to prevent nibbling on bedding.
