Paper shredding's

[Claire W]

I have just shredded a pile of old paper work including wage slips and phone bills etc. Would it be safe to put the paper in my guinea pigs bed or would it not be safe for them as they chew everything?

Claire as long as not too much ink i'm sure it would be ok.....
I've bought home some paper to do same thing too!
i was told once that sometimes the ink from the paper can stain white piggies and just to watch they don't eat much........

Thanks Glynis I may give it a try so long as they don't eat it all :o

I tried this once and within a day stopped as we noticed our piggies were getting paper cuts. The other danger when you haven't shredded it yourself is that some shredders take plastic cards like credit cards and sometimes staples too.

Shredded newspaper is good but they will need a full clean daily.

Kind regards
