Hi all, I am sorry but this is going to take a while as I have a lot of questions for you to help me with if you can. I shall put them down one by one thanks.
1) Can you use straw as bedding and just give them hay to eat?
I am wondering this as the hay I use at the moment isn't that good a quality as it is dust extracted but it still has lots of little bits in it and I need to find something which doesn't have bits in so it diesn't hurt Herbie's eyes.
2) What is the best hay to give Herbie?
I have been to a localish pet shop and I have asked him if next time he goes to his suppliers if he could look for timothy hay, but as this is expensive as I have heard on this board I was wondering if there was a decent cheaper alternative for people on a small budget.
3) Can you use newspaper for bedding instead of straw or hay?
Just wondering this any ideas?
4) Can you use that soft bedding type stuff?
Ok I know this is vague but I haven't got a clue what it's called. I know people use it for their mice and hamsters and stuff but I have seen some for guinea pigs and was wondering if you could use that instead of or as well as.
5) Where can I find Herbie a cheap igloo type bed?
I want to get him something he can use out of his hutch as I would like him to have something to sleep in if he needs to as all he does is go behind the sofa or under his towel on a clothes dryer.
Ok i think that is all for the moment my mind has gone a blank lol. If there are any more things I need to ask I shall put them up later.
Take care x
