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

I use shavings around and in my two rabbits litter tray simply because it's easy to clean for any accidents as the little rabbit isn't quite as good with the litter training 😟, but as soon as possible my rabbits will be on full fleece like the rest of their hutch, this video was so informative defiantly rethinking my choices of bedding!

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

Very honest and helpful review. I am currently using the paper-like bedding (I'm honestly not sure what it's called but its super soft) from the pet store with no problems. 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.

Hi Erin! I am currently using wood shavings for my guinea pig but after watching this I feel like using fleece would be better and also easier to clean because it is an absolute nightmare cleaning out all of that soggy wood shavings every week.I just have a few questions to ask before changing the bedding and it will be really helpful if you could answer them 1. 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? If you have read my comment all the way down to here thank you I really appreciate it😘😘😘have a wonderful day!🌈🌈🌈

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.

Great little video! To be honest ive used dust extracted shavings for ages now and never had any issues. I always spot clean daily so it never gets bad and with the rabbits I only use it for an absorbent layer in litter trays and always put hay on top so there never just sitting in it. It's also very cost effective and a bale lasts about 2 months for my 5 rabbits and 2 pigs. I will however do a little more research into megazorb now and see if it may ever work for me so thanks.

I use Aspen wood shavings, purely because it is a cheaper option and hadn't given me too many problems. The only issue is that when I'm cleaning out my rabbit it's almost like it doubles to aroma and I have to sit down ever 5 minutes because of breathing, and I don't normally have problems with that. Great Vid! Binge watching your videos 😂

Hey I really love your channel! Recently I've decided to get a guinea pig however I'm only able to get one as my family does not like pets and it was hard enough to convince to get one. I wanted to know if whether a female or a male would cope best being without a partner and just with me. I could always bring the cage to the living room if it wants company. I have plenty of free time, more than 4 hours a day to play so it would be happy. Would this work or would the guinea pig still be very unhappy?

I use spruce wood shavings is that bad? If I were to buy those microfibre mats could I hand wash it and still get out all the pee?

I recently just bought a 8 week old gunea pig. I only got one. I know it is recommended to get 2 but that didn't happen. How long do I need to be taking it out of its cage for play time. I read 2 hours but you seem like an expert and I wanted you thoughts on it

if you give him enough space (which would be a 2x3 or better 2x4 c&c cage) you won't need to give him floor time. The minimum for a single gp cage is 2x3. If under that measurement it would be best to have them on floortime for a minimum of three hours a day.

I have a 40 gallon breeder tank for my two boys. I try to give them at least an hour of floor time a day. Also, is your little piggy a boy Or a girl? Anyway, good luck with your little fur baby!

@@theswimmingpotato7037 that is approximately 90x35 cm, way too small for two guineapigs! Please do your research, guineapigs need a bigger cage and not tanks cause they can't breathe in there and can suffer a lot in summer. Would you keep a rabbit in a tank?

Yume Himamori my guinea pigs can breathe quite fine. Like said before, they get an hour of floor time a day plus they get to go outside every other day during the summer. (In the shade on top of cooling pads) I also have expansions on my cage so it’s practically double the space. I’ve done my research and I’ve had guinea pigs for 10+ years. I love my piggies and I would never harm them.

@@theswimmingpotato7037 I don't know where have you done your researches but I also have had gp for a long time and every owner and vet I met wouldn't recommend a tank for gps. 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. Just stating some good maintanance tips. I recommend following sites like guinealinx and skinnypigs01 yt channel 🙂

I use aspen shavings, it's perfect for her and not even irritating for her. Yes, it could show more of the pee, and poop, but I could see it clearly so I could clean it easily. But on the future, I will litter train my guinea pigs then use fleece.

I re-tried megazorb after deciding it was to dusty then after watching your videos I re-tried it. I still don't like it and I am going to move to fleece but with Christmas coming my family is busy and isn't having time to order it and listening to me yapping on about it😂 Anyway the reason I started to right this is orbios (don't know how to spell it) spikey? it looks like it but it's obviously hard to tell on camera

Just curious if you have ever tried care fresh? I have my 2 female guinea pigs on fleece, with 2 litter trays in their C&C cage (I fill the litter trays with a layer of care fresh natural then a layer of fresh hay). It's been working really well for about a year now :) just wondered if you have ever used or considered care fresh (although it is quite expensive). Love your videos Erin!!
@ErinsArk
@ErinsArk 7 жыл бұрын
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?

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??
