HOW TO CHOOSE GUINEA PIG BEDDING & CAGE LINERS?

Many guinea pig owners are starting to find the use of fleece in their cages rather than bedding. It appears to be a little ridiculous right? Not as much as one may think. Fleece is an exclusive content, as when it is washed and dried several times; fluid can actually pass directly through the fabric rather than be made available to the fleece itself. This leaves the surface of the fleece dry and relaxed for several times, depending on how many piggies may be living together. Different people will use all kinds of components for guinea pig bedding. Some use towels, some use paper, and others use hay and/or straw. The Guinea Pig Bedding & Cage Liners that works best for you will need to be based mainly on the type and size of the cage/hutch enclosure, and the time and budget that you have. Whatever sized enclosure you use, you'll need to provide approximately one to 2 “depth, of bedding product. It isn't recommended to use Cedar slices as they contain oils which can end up in breathing problems. Sawdust is too dirty and will meddle with respiration, and corncob bedding which can go moldy. The most common bedding is pine chips and processed paper, or paper. Whatever guinea pig bedding you decide to use, make sure you fresh and/or modify it out each minimum 3-4 days. This prevents any odour from building up, helping with maintaining your guinea pig in great health. Be very happy to research a bit and pay interest to what your pet prefers for guinea pig bedding.
