After reading this thread and needing something that controls odor better than the Uhaul pads (boyfriend is very sensitive and complaintive about guinea pig urine) I switched to wood pellets under my fleece last night. Is it normal for in the first day or two for a guinea pig to be sneezing and itching her nose? One of mine sneezed several times in a row last night and this morning was rubbing her nose on a couple occasions. Is she just getting used to the smell and possibly the initial dust, or could she have an allergy?
Also, I'm building a new C&C cage (2x4, 2x5 if I have enough grids) and was wondering if anyone was using this over a stand made from grids and if this was enough support for the weight of the wood? I'm also hoping to put the pellets in a 2x1 loft, will it be too heavy?
