Ok I think they might be called Chewbes? but, mine had like this colourful stuff that felt like a bigg cottom ball *ewww*, and logically I thought, well I can't give that to my piggies...but could I really. I tossed it to the side, and decided to ask first. I really assume not, but who knows.

No, GPs shouldn't have that stuff. In fact I can't think of any animals that really should. That stuff is meant to be bedding for animals like hamsters that build nests. However, some forms of that bedding cause impactions and can get caught in hamsters cheek pouches causing severe discomfort and infection. In GPs I would be most concerned about possible GI blockages that stuff could cause if ingested.

Thanks for confirming that, it was some grosse feeling stuff, but I didn't want to think of trying to clean that out of anywhere.
