i use paper shredded with shavings for my piggies they love it
no. your guinea pig will adjust.
some safe bedding can be expensive but you can also make your own! in my opinion, the safest bedding is paper or a soft, cuddly blanket; depending which do your guinea pig like (: !
Some alternatives for guinea pig bedding that are both less expensive and safe include shredded newspaper, aspen shavings, or fleece liners. These options are cost-effective and can provide a comfortable and absorbent bedding environment for your guinea pig.
your vagina
Kiln-dried pine or aspen shavings, fleece, or a paper-based bedding such as Carefresh.
Ebay, or your local pet store. Rabbit bedding is also very similar to guinea pig bedding and can be used as an alternative if required. You can also make your own guinea pig bedding out of a small cage, some hay/straw and a small circular pillow.
Yes you can use towels instead of beding for guieana pigs to be on because I have a guieana pig myself and he LOVES towels. Whats really great about using towels as bedding for your guieana pig is that you can take the towels out if your guieana pigs cage and reuse them again. Towels don't harm your guieana pig eather. Plus, their even more softer than bedding form a store! 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.
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!
It is not recommended to use carpet as bedding for a guinea pig. Carpets can harbor bacteria and be difficult to clean properly, which can lead to health issues for your pet. It is better to use safe bedding options specifically designed for small animals, such as paper-based bedding or aspen shavings.
only in the wintertime so they wont get to hot
usually its ok if your pig eats the bedding if you think its having problems ask a vet.
yes.if your pig has mites then you should clean the bedding out.
