I use bedmax shaving (horse ones) for my horses and donkeys as well as the piggies out door run. They contain no dust (as Mickey my pony has a respiratory problem) and don't smell at all! They are more like wood chips though as and larger in size to wood shaving and work really well for me. But I put hay over the top of the chips for the piggies :) xx

Hutch? Is the hutch big? If not do they get run around space, i have two guinea pigs and when i first got them i got them a hutch then in winter we bought a store bought cage for when there inside, but i did al my research and I realised how much space they need! Right now im in the process of building/ re doing a shed to free roam my guinea pigs in the bottom of the shed, storage on the top floor, i was just going to recommend if you maybe give them more than a hutch.. i like to help others out even if i am trying to do the best for all my animals xox

It is absorbent, doesn't smell fast and my bunny has enough grip to run around. I am as always looking for other options thought as I want my bunny to have a great life.

we have done fleece before for about 6 months. if you are going that route make sure you are devoted to keeping it clean and have plenty of extras while you washdry etc. We are currently doing wood shavings for 6 months now and had no idea it was bad but I've always felt the dust all over my face. I feel terrible now specially because we just lost our out little Daisy two weeks ago of unknown cause she was laying one morning. It was and still is extremely sad. We we have two more piggies and I will go out and buy the safe bedding for them. thank you for these videos.

How do you set up fleece when you first buy it? 2. Where do you get your fleece from? 3. Can I use fleece for an outdoor piggy? 4. How do I know if my fleece is ready to use on my guinea pig?

Thanks so much for your lovely and very informative post! I adopted my first piggies 3 months ago and I've been using towels and fleeces. I like using them but the big downside is the amount of washing and drying of course, unfortunately! I do use natural soap nuts with a decent dollop of white vinegar, and they clean up very well. I am now however going to try either Ambios or easibedding ... our rescue/adopted chooks and turkeys use the easibed which I love, and I certainly think they do too. 1 of the pairs of piggies are used to previously being on easibed so I assume it would be soft enough for them, but do wonder if Ambios would be better. Thank you again.

I have two guinea pigs that get along quite well. They have a cage that is a suitable size. There is a mat covering most of the cage. It is not vary absorbent but, my guinea pigs are for the most part litter trained. Their cage has a small ramp leading to a sectioned off area that has paper bedding inside that I replace once a week. A wipe down and sweep up any poo or pee every day on the mat. I find that works best for my pigs. I only have two pigs though so I can see why other options would be better if you have more than two guinea pigs.

They need air circulation and a wide space to run all day, not just one hour a day. It's like keeping a rabbit or a lamb in a small acquarium. A 35 cm wide cage can't let them even turn around. I'm sorry if I sound harsh and I don't mean to offend anyone. I suppose you are providing them enough space but I wouldn't recommend a tank as a cage for someone who has been first experiencing gps.

Thank you! I used carefresh once when I first got gerbils but it costs like £5 for a tiny bag (I would easily go through that in a few days haha). If they sold it in bales much cheaper then I would consider it :)

Haha yep I recently got quite a large bag for £20 which is expensive, but considering I only use it for litter trays it works well and does last quite a long time. I also just changes over my guinea pigs to the pellets you recommended. Are you still feeding your guinea pigs these pellets?

Do you know what kind of sand would be the best for a hamster sand bath?

Others say aspen shavings are very safe. So hard to know the real facts as everyone is so different. Thoughts on aspen?
@Glitterati9846 жыл бұрын
Jody Crump It is usually perfectly safe, you just hav to be careful what brand you uae as Some can have a high percentage of dust or particles that are too large. I used Kaytee brand aspen for a long time until there was a large piece of the wood in one of my packages and my guine apug ended up slicing his eye on it because it was too sharp. i feel like kaytee is ushually pefectly fine,I just had a bad experience with it.

Hello Erin. I need your help. My guinea pig is afraid of me. When ever I reach into his cage to pick him up he runs and hides. I have had him for a few months now and it hasn't changed. Giving him food in my hand doesn't work. I mean I just feel so bad because like how would you feel when a giant try's to pick you up? Not good. I know I can reli on you to help me. Any ideas??
