Canada Eating newspaper

lmg99 said:

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.

Yes. I am knowledgeable about cats, (I have two) and dogs (one), but the guinea pig is all new for me. He's my daughters pet.
