Guinea pigs discussion

I will need bedding http://www.petsmart.com/product/index...

carefresh is great bedding

so is kiln dried pine aspen and paper

I would recomend Natural Critter Care

I like to use premire pet kiln dried pine shavings.

You can find it at Petsmart and pet supplies plus

I use accual bedding. I don't know what pet supplies plus is. It isn't around my town. All I have is Pets Plus which is really close.

Kiln dried pine is bedding. It is wood shavings.

no I dont use wood shavings

oh, do you use paper?? I use wood shavings or fleece

I use like the bedding in the picture

ok. You use paper

I don't

that bedding is made out of paper

I don't have the same exact one as in the picture I have a different brand

ok- what is it. I am curious

the brand?

yes- and a link too

"Made of reclaimed cellulose fiber"- Cellulose is made from wood. It's a good bedding. How often do you clean your guinea pigs cages

Once a week. I scoop out the soiled bedding every day though

Ok- me too. My boars are about 50/50 litter trained

what does litter trained mean

It means that i have trained my gp to go to the bathroom in a litter pan

oh

I like to use different colors for my guinea pig; she likes to run through it :)
Do you have any tips for litter training?

ok- I have a lot of tips but every pig is different.

First- get a litter pan. It should be big enough for them to jump in it. I got mine at Petco.

Fill it with litter. I use Yesterdays News Cat litter. It looks like guinea pigs pellets. Do not use regular cat litter. Do not get the sented kind.

Put the pan and litter in the cage- put it in a corner were they go the most. My guineas go were ever there is hay, so I put there hay rack above there hay.

This is kinda how I have mine-

Next, take a scoop of soiled bedding and mix it in with your litter. Pigs go were they have been before, so by smelling this, they tend to go there.

you can also give them veggies when ever they go in it. This allows the pig to get comfortable with the litter pan.

Pigs are not like cats, they wont go 100% but it really helps when you clean the cage.

Feel free to ask me any questions- good luck!

Thanks!
I will give it a shot!
