What Bedding?

[GuineaPigLover7891]

Hi! I have two boars (Patches and Carmal). I might be getting a new cage this week. My current cage has fleece as bedding. The new cage will be two levels and I’m not sure if fleece would be possible. I’ve used paper bedding before, but it was kind of expensive. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for the bedding in this new cage. I was thinking using meadow hay, but I’m not sure if my parents would let me. Any help is appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

You need something absorbent underneath the hay. Fleece would work in a two level though, so you could stick to it if you get on with it.

I don’t know where you are but I highly recommend aubiose, though it’s not a paper bedding. I’ve also tried biocatelet which I liked but wasn’t cost effective.

Have a read through the bedding thread. Sorry I can’t link at the moment.
