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 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 ...
