Current guinea pig bedding/ OLD

Hi readers, todays post is an update on Bramble, Patches and Maisie's bedding.

Bramble and Patches
Base: Newspaper or Puppy Pads.
Middle layer: Wood shavings if news paper. If puppy pads normally nothing.
Top layer: Hay, Straw or Shredded paper.

Maisie
Base: Puppy Pads.
Middle layer: Towels and pretty coloured dusters(odd, I know but her claws don't catch on them).
Top layer: Fleece(Normally paw print).

Litter trays
Base: Plastic litter tray
Middle layer: Newspaper/Kitchen roll with wood shavings and wooden cat litter sandwiched
between.
Top layer: Hay and/or shredded paper.

Why do I use fleece for Maisie?
I use fleece for Maisie because she is still a baby and it is less likely to cause a Fungal infection.

 Where do I get the supplies?
Puppy pads, wooden cat litter, hay and wood shavings: Home bargains.
Straw: Local pet shop.
Shredded paper: I make it.
Fleece and towels: Buy in second hand shops and fabric shops or find it around the house.
Litter trays: Home bargains.
Kitchen roll: Tesco
Newspaper: Friends and Family.

I hope you find this interesting and will try it with your guinea pigs,

Book Worm :)

The best housing for outdoor and indoor guinea pigs and storage for guinea pig supplies/ Old opinion

Hi readers, as I have got another guinea pig I thought a new post on housing and storage was needed. Housing Many people, including me, keep their guinea pigs outdoors in hutches or indoors in small cages, however this is not enough but can be good in the warmer months (rare in the UK) but there are many more ways to house guinea pigs like C and C cages as well as many other types. The hutch facts H utches are normally small with no room for guinea pigs to run around once they've got a food dish and few toys. Some hutches are large and spacious and have a run attached(like mine). You can build hutches and this is a good option as it can be cheaper but can be a lot of hard work. C and C cage facts C & C cages are brilliant indoor options and can be suited to the space in the home or outbuilding. C&C stands for cube grids and coraplast. Cube grids can be expensive but don't really need replacing after you've got them. Coraplast or Correx is corrugated plastic
