well, I have tried, and trid and I just do not get on with fleece for my guinea pigs :(, With my health problems, I just can't be stripping down the cage and thoroughly cleaning and washing everything evey few days. So I'm looking for an alternative. I have half a bag of Bob Martins recycled paper based cat litter that I was wondering if it was ok to use. I have used it in the past for my rats, but wasn't 100% on the GP's, so thought I would check with the experts on here lol. Speedy replies would be good, as I need to clean them out today :)
 
I use Back 2 Nature litter in Rogers litter tray and have started to mix in Bio Catolet litter, unless there is anything in there that would be harmful to them i.e. chemical etc I don't see why not.

I have to add I'm not a keen person on Bob Martin porducts in general but that's just me hun.
 
I use a paper based kitty litter in my crew's hay crate. Because I'm in Sweden the brand would be of no use to you, but it looks like pellets kinda. It's worked fine.

Believe me, I wouldn't touch BM for anything else!:x Their 'health' products are dangerous and I don't rate their shampoos or anything. This was a bag that was given in for our foster cats, but we don't use it for them as we have our own suppliers, but I thought it may be ok for the GP's, rather than waste it. I think I'll give it a go, and see how we get on. :)
 
I use Bio catolet or the back to nature for Monty - he seems fine but It does smell to me by the 2nd day so I clean him every 2 days - might just be me but it does smell all musty to me when wet?

I'm going to order a sack of megazorb this week as Monty can sometimes dribble so ends up with cat litter stuck to him - might be the same with megazorb too.

Tracked down a supplier locally well 6 miles away of aubiose but not got anywhere to store such a massive bale as yet and dont drive so megazorb delivered is easier.

Id try the fleece option but our washing machine really struggles at the best of times with any animal bedding and family not keen on lots of fleece and towels being done so on hold with trying fleece as yet.
 
That's also part of the problem with me, my hubby REALLY hates the GP bedding being washed in the machine! Just off to clean them out now, so fingers crosed they take to it :)
