Shredded paper

[Lucinda]

Mine love it!

It was suggested by the vet when Scarby was so poorly (had to keep him off hay as much as possible). Anyway,they seem to love playing with it!

Shredded paper sound like a great idea, I shred all my bills etc and have loads. Is it safe to give them paper with print on it?

Anyways I just bought a 15kg bag of megazorb for £10 which should last a while.

Yeah it's safe enough with print on it. Just don't be alarmed if you notice their pee a different colour! (peeing on the paper, makes the ink run)

I use it too! It's much cooler to use at the moment too, and you have all seen the pictures of Titch hiding it?!

I have a question. Is it ok to mix Carefrsh and shredded newspaper, i want to make sure before i do.

 

[kellyandpiggies]

[Ryan]

[kellyandpiggies]

I always use shredded paper with my boys. It's so cheap and I get my parents and work colleagues to save all their newspapers and old yellow pages! I shred a boxful, tip it in the cage and leave my boys to spread it out themselves ;D

i did care fresh shredded paper mix. work really well. it was actually funny cause when i put the pigs in they started dig under it.

[kellyandpiggies]

My paper once put in lasts around 3 days then they are cleaned out

News paper print is ok now its a soy based product and wont harm Guinnea pigs

 

[newtofu]

so it's not unhealthy for them to eat shredded paper?

 

[starshine]

Mine all eat paper! Newspaper, shredded paper etc etc etc. It has never done them any harm!

 

[kellyandpiggies]

Mine too, have always had newspaper, shredded or not!

I've just got a shredder and they love hiding in the paper!

Hi just got a big bag of shredded paper from work to try out with the pigs. They were a bit supprised by it at first but seem ok with it now.
