Hi, I just had to recently change my guinea's bedding brand because he was sneezing frequently from the dust. Anyways, I just cleaned his cage out and replaced it with new Carefresh paper bedding. Immediately he started to eat pieces of it and throughout the day that was all he ate. I was concerned so I ran to the pet store and bought pine shavings instead. He began to eat this one even more. His hay and pellets were still untouched. Finally, I just decided to use newspaper until I could find time to run back to the store and pick up a different kind. But he then began nibbling on the newspaper as well. He's never reacted this way to the bedding. He's used the Carefresh paper bedding before and never felt the need to eat it in the large amounts he was. He has stopped nibbling on the hay now but he still hasn't eaten any hay or pellets since I cleaned his cage out, which was this morning. He usually eats TONS of it. I'm very concerned. Could his stomach be hurting and this is his way of stopping it? Please help! I need answers!
