Are wood pellets safe for guinea pigs?

Hi , my rabbits usally use wood pellets so i end up buying a lot of them.
I wanted to know if it was okay to use them for guinea pig bedding.

They can be used but I personally would only use them in a litter tray and not as a bedding for the entire cage

If you haven't bought them already, I'd research aubious instead. It's very low dust, ground down hemp stalk I believe. I used to use it for gerbils, it's meant for stables floors for horse bedding. It's good stuff but can be expensive for p and p. Can find it in farm shops and horse feed shops.

Its dirt cheap if you collect it yourself

Where i buy it i can get 30 kg for like £6 , which lasts my bunnies like 4 weeks .
I've bought a small bag , to last me a week , its 10 kg for £3.85 or something

Is that the wood pellets? If be worried it would cause bumble foot on the soles of guinea pig feet. See guinea pigs weigh quite a bit for their size. I could be wrong

I use wood pellet cat litter in my piggies litter tray,when its wet it turns almost to dry sand.
Don't think I would use it as bedding though.
