Hello
I am planning to do a big cleanout of my rabbit shed and guinea pig cage over today and next weekend. I would also like to have a change of my guineas cage but need some help and ideas.
I have three guinea pigs who live in my rabbit shed in a large rabbit cage on a table way out of reach of the rabbits. They have been on sawdust since I got them over three years ago, although the sawdust is good quality and dust free I am now worried after hearing it is bad for them So I would like to change this firstly, what alternatives are there? I can't really afford expensive alternatives though. I have thought about using newspaper and a tray with hay in it that covers one third/half the cage but my guineas would eat the newspaper I think if it was left uncovered. They are also very messy piggies and poo and wee anywhere they go! I am thinking of changing their hay too as it hasn't been very good quality recently, what hay do you use for your guineas? I have just ordered some Ings hay from hay for pets for my rabbits and might order the guineas some of the soft meadow hay or the Ings hay? Please could I have your ideas on what I can do with my guineas set up and descriptions/pictures of yours? Sorry for the long post! Thankyou very much
