bedding?

[jackel]

i got a question and hope someone can give me an answer at the moment the girls have newspaper then shavings then straw and i have been reading all your comment on this and realised its not good for them so i have decided to change so went and got some megazorb today and going to use that insted of the shavings But if i put hay in there bedding insted of straw they just seem to eat it all up then they are just left on the shavings/megazorb then they will have nothing to keep them warm and they will get cold hope you can understand what i mean and i have not gone on and lost you all LOL
cheers to anyone who leaves a comment.

Are piggys kept indoors or outdoors? Mine are indoors and use megazorb and newspaper in there cage and hay. I just put a pile of hay in the middle of the cage and two toliet rolls filled with hay either side of the pile of hay. Mine also have a little cosy bed each and sometimes lie on the hay. I wouldnt worry about bedding if they are indoors as they are most probable warm anyway. If they are outdoors then I would just pile up the hay so they are snug.
Ive only just started using megazorb as I did use carefresh but it was so expensive, I love megazorb and its working really well for me and my piggys.

Hi there! Ive tried most beddings for my guinea pigs and have found that Easibed is about the best. It is absorbent and smells of pine. I put newspaper on the cage floor, then a layer of Easibed. A seed tray at one end of the cage again with newspaper, Easibed and hay, acts as a cosy bed. At the moment I am paying about £8 for a hay bale sized bag of Easibed. For outdoor gp's you could put a cardboard box on its side stuffed with hay for them to go into for extra warmth. Hope these suggestions are of help.
