What is the best bedding to provide for guinea-pigs?
Both sawdust and wood-shavings can be very abrasive and dusty, resulting in damage to the animal’s skin and hair, drying the skin and pre-disposing it to problems. We recommend lining cages with a waterproof lining and a thick covering of newspapers topped with hay. In cold weather, shredded computer paper is good. This should be cleaned thoroughly at least once a week and fresh hay for eating should be added on a daily basis.
