It is just a week I've started using rice hull as bedding for my piggies. One thing I'm really confused is that whether it is suitable for my pet or not. Pls let me know I should still use it or not?
 
No I would not have thought this was a good idea at all. Rice hull is indigestible for humans and I assume it would be the same for piggies so if they tried to eat some it could cause digestive issues. Also rice hull is hard material and not absorbent so would not do what guinea pig bedding needs to do which is absorb their urine to keep them nice and dry.

Thank you very much. I'm gonna remove it as soon as possible.
