Smile Eating newspaper
Just lately, our guinea pig has started to eat the newspaper I put under his bedding. Is this okay or should I stop using the newspaper? Any help would be appreciated.

A little bit of chewing is ok as long as the newspaper uses only natural ink. Soy based ink I believe. You should call the newspaper company to find out. If they use regular ink you should not even have it in the cage.

Holy cow, you have lots of pets. I also have 3 girls aged 10, 6 and 3, so my quantity of pets keeps me busy enough.
