i need help n seeing if this new bedding i got for my guinea pig is good for her because he last one hurt her feet and is didnt soak up anything in her cage
should i stay wit the new one of find a different one?
 
Have you thought about fleece?


*edit: pets pick pine bedding is basically sawdust which will be better at absorbing things than oak wood chips. How often to you change it out?
Just googled oak wood chip's it looks kinda sharp, I'd switch to pet picks pine.

Are you sure it's fleece, I've never really known for piggy nails to get caught up in fleece to be honest.
I suspect the wood pine bedding you are talking about won't for good for you your pig's feet long term.
There are a number of options for bedding, I assume you are in the United Stages and presumably quite warm so wouldn't want to use vetbed as an option.
Perhaps dog puppy pads with hay?

Check out the thread for members reviews on bedding within this section to get an idea what would be better.

I use a wood substitute called Auboise which is an equine (horse) bedding, which is absorbent. Not sure what you have in the States.

Just a tip - it took me a bit longer to read your thread because of the mobile text speech you are using, for forums you may be better to type in full rather than hoping everyone can read the shortened non english words. No offence intended.
Cheers.
