Junior Guinea Pig
I'm sure a lot of you guys know here know this already but for the newbies like me that are wondering about wood shavings. This was my experience
Pros:
1- It is way cheaper than paper bedding (at lest here in America)
2- A little goes a long way. I was able to fill their whole cage with way less than half a bag. ( i bought the big bag). When i buy the paper bedding, i buy the big bag and every time i change and clean the cage i have to use half of the bag. So you definitely save some money there.
Cons:
Like they say, you get what you pay for. In my opinion, it was terrible.
1- It has a very strong smell that took over the whole room immediately.
2- I could see all the urine spots all around the cage and i could smell their urine. As when i use the paper bedding you cant smell it as much or at all.
4 - Its not as absorbent as paper bedding.
3- Its very messy.
4- My piggies didnt like walking on it, its not as soft as paper bedding.
My local store was nice enough to let me return what i had left in the bag 2 days after.
Needless to say i wont be using it again.
Again, this was my experience, maybe someone else here had a better experience than me.
