Hey! This is a blog for guinea pig lovers! I will be posting tips and fun things for your guinea pig to do. I will also take any questions you have. My guinea pigs name is Pippin and he is an Abyssinian. Hope you enjoy! :)
I use Kiln Dried Aspen shavings for my guinea pigs. Can anyone help me with information regarding the effects that can occur on the GI tract if they constantly consume their bedding. Any website links would be helpful.. Thank you..
Wood shavings have lots of dust so when guinea pigs live on it they can get Upper Respiratory infection, which can be very serious problem. Also guinea pigs have fragile feet so it could cause their feet to swell. If consumed it could clog their stomach and not be able to digest correctly. I recommend using fleece. That is what I use for my piggies. And they LOVE it. It is dust free. Very inexpensive. And they love the softness and they always are Popcorning! :) hope this helps.
