bedding

Hiya! I've just purchased two 2x4 c and c cages... so excited...:yahoo: I've been scrolling through the internet and cant seem to decide which place is best to get a waterproof/absorbent cage liner for each. I'm looking for the least faff option .. lol.. and best price for item. Any advice or...

Hi, I've got two boar guinea pigs reserved to pick up next month while I get everything ready for them. They're a bonded pair and their birthday is on the 5th of April 2017. I'm so excited! One is a teddy and the other is a crested (I think?). I have a couple of questions related to the space...

Hi! I would like to make a different changes for my guinea pigs. As you can tell from the title I would like to switch to fleece and possibly get c&c cages. If any of you use these feature for your guinea pigs. Please leave me suggestions, pros and cons, and any tips! I would like to hear it...

I'm used to having my lot on fleece, but since the baby boars have been separated from mum they've been in a Ferplast 120 with Megazorb. How does one "spot clean" this type of bedding? The "poo picking" I'm used to is almost impossible! The options I see are: Scoop out the most heavily-used...

Hi, We have decided to fill the base of our large pen with hay and the Guineas seem to much more enjoy it. However we are currently buying Timothy hay with dandelion from P@H for £6.50 for 1kg. Obviously it's not as fresh as we'd like nor cost effective to be binning so much. Would anyone...

Has anyone housed their (indoor) piggies on live or growing bedding? My guy is in a 2x3 C&C cage. I've tried fleece flippers (made my own) and recycled paper bedding (like care fresh). I'm wondering it it would be possible to fill a coroplast tray with dirt and grow grass, cilantro, parsley...

Hi guys! I've decided to try using fleece bedding in Teddy's outdoor hutch. It's on 2 levels and has recently been re-covered so it'll be waterproof too. I was hoping you could give me some pointers on the initial set-up so I know I'm on the right track. Here's what I'm thinking/not sure of...

Hi guys, I'm still very new to guinea pig owning and I need some help! I'm worried Teddy (my mostly blind guinea pig that lives outside) is getting bumblefoot. His back heels are starting to go red. Now, I'm pretty sure this is my fault for thinking his bedding is dry when it isn't, and also...

I cannot choose whether to put soft interlocking mats as the floor for my c&c cage, or vinyl tiles.. The foam mats look like this... And the vinyl tiles look like this... (Taken from Pinterest) Does anyone use these or know which one would be better for my guinea pigs? Thank you for your...

I've been wanting to change the flooring of my guinea pig cage for about a week or so. I've been looking on Pinterest and other sites on what to use. Earlier today I went into Lowes, and found soft linking play mats. I actually scrolled past a picture of a c&c cage that had the exact mats I had...

So my two boars are currently on a fine grade heavily dust extracted wood shaving - i've always used this mostly because i had a horse that was allergic to dust of pretty much any sort and always had it lying around. I'd asked my vet in the past if it would be ok and because it was totally dust...

Hi everyone! I was just wondering what personal opinions people had in regards to what bedding is best for Guineas I have a rescue abysinthian named Geoff who is about 1 and I successfully paired him with 6month old kiwi Afew months ago! I currently have them living in a large store bought...

Hello Piggie Lovers. I'm currently in the prep for switching over to fleece bedding as it really appeals to me. I've washed my fleece 3 times and I can't tell if it's been wicked or not. Last night tested a piece and it went right through. This morning tried again and it pools for a second...

I'm hoping you can help me out. I'm swapping my pig's substrate from shavings to fleece. I was wondering wear to get some fleece from as he doesn't have a C&C cage and every website only do C&C cage fleeces.

I'm hoping you can help me. I've been helping my friend with her guinea pigs for a while and now I'm finally getting my own. I was wondering which substrate is best for my piggies as I don't want to hurt their feet but at the same time I want it to be efficient at absorbing their urine. I hope...

Hi! I have owned piggies for a long time now and I want to try out fleece bedding, I have used wood shavings since I got them. My question is, what do you find the best to use under the fleece? I'm thinking of puppy pads + towels and then fleece on top. I know many of you use uhaul pads and...

Hi I'm a new guinea pig owner, having gotten a pair of boy pigs over the lovely warm summer, but am now apprehensive about winter, as we want to keep them as 'outdoor pigs'. So after some tips about keeping them a good temperature when it gets really cold. They are in a double story hutch in...

My little man is as odd as they come. When I bought him, I got the largest cage in the shop and every toy/feeder/bedding you can imagine... none of them lasted, he hated them all! So I had to get my thinking cap on and figure out some alternatives! With a little rummaging around the house I...

Hi, I bought 2 beautiful little peruvian sisters just over 2 weeks ago so they must be about 8/9 weeks old now. Built a new cage for them to come home too out of wood which gave them plenty room to roam! They both seemed to settle in fine, still a bit nervous but we handle them plenty so...

Hi all, I'm about to get 2 boars for the first time and am exploring bedding options. We're going to keep them inside so smell limitation is top priority as is quick and easy cleaning. I'm thinking of using incontinence pads/baby mattress protectors and some sort of top layer.... I have 2...
