What Kind of Guinea Pig Bedding

Question

what kind of bedding is good for guinea pigs cus i saw an answer that said aspen isn't good but thats what i have and my guinea pigs are ok but will they stay ok?

Answer 1

I use carefresh, because its really absorbant and owning boars, well boys pee a lot so it really reduces the smell. Aspen is absolutely fine to use, its cedar shavings that you shouldn't use as they are toxic to piggies and other small animals :)

This site has some good info on bedding:

Answer 2

Carefresh is good, but Aspen is fine too. I recommend using fleece and towels. In the long run they are the cheapest. They are also easy to clean, look great, and are very comfortable for your guinea pigs.

Answer 3

I use straw

Answer 4

I'm pretty sure aspen is okay but stay away from pine and cedar.

Just to be sure I use carefresh and it is great, but it smells like cardboard

Answer 5

Yea i geuss aspen is ok but i haven't looked at it very much. I use Carefresh and my guinea pig really likes it!

It is also very good for your guinea pig AND the eviroment!

1. It is safe for your guinea pig because it has  no chemicals or anything else that could hurt your guinea pig and it isn't dusty either.

If you're interested take a look at this link;

2. It is safe for the enviroment because, it is just recycled paper (they skip the step of actually turning it INTO paper so it is soft and your guinea pigs can dig through it easily. It is easy to get out of the bag it is just a little stiff at first.

Answer 6

I use aspen for my guinea pigs and have never heard anything bad about it. It is pretty much dust free and doesnt have anything in it that could harm my pigs like pine or cedar would.  

Answer 7

aspen is fine i use it in with the guinea pigs just before they give birth they use it as nesting

keep using it as it will be fine
