Guinea pigs need a comfortable bed to sleep in just as you do, so it is important to pick the right kind of bedding for your pet. When you are shopping for guinea pig bedding it is important to remember that you cannot simply use any old materials as guinea pig bedding.

You need to take special care not to offer your guinea pig anything that could be dangerous. That means no possibly toxic bedding and nothing that could strangle or choke your pet.

Ideas-4-Pets offers you excellent natural guinea pig bedding to add to your pets cage or hutch to make life so much more comfortable for them. We offer you bedding that is safe to use and comfortable for your pet to lie on, warm in winter but not swelteringly hot in summer. Other guinea pig bedding options include wood shavings, paper and hay.

Wood shavings are a popular guinea pig bedding choice. Pine and aspen wood shavings are the best for your pig. However, this can cause allergic reactions in some guineas so watch your pet’s reaction to any bedding very carefully. Shredded paper bedding is popular as it is dust free and makes a soft bed for your guinea pig. It is important to note that shredded paper used as guinea pig bedding must not have any ink on it as this can be highly toxic.

Hay is the next option and this is popular as your guinea pig can munch on it in bed. Hay bedding needs to be changed each day.
