Hello, I have been having trouble finding a good paper bedding brand in Ontario, I had my last guinea pig for 10 years and he was an American guinea pig so I always used aspen and I never had a problem but when he passed away I got two long haired Peruvian girls and I found that aspen got stuck in their hair even when bushing every day, fleece is also not an option for me as I don’t have a laundry machine handy. I have gone through several brands and have had no luck! I was hoping I could get get some recommendations and/or suggestions on what I should use!
Here are the brands I’ve tried and what the problems I had were:
Kaytee clean and cozy-I used this for a while then one day I found small sharp sticks in it I thought it was a one off but I bought another bag and it was the same thing and they were so sharp I was worried it would cut my piggies
Care Fresh- I bought several bags based off of really good reviews and it was so hit and miss some bags were good some smelt strongly of urine so I will never buy this brand again
All living things paper bedding- I have tried the pellets(litter) and the loose paper and I didn’t like either, the pellets were so hard and my piggies really didn’t like it but it wasn’t that bad compared to the rest but the loose paper was so bad it got soggy, didn’t keep any smell down and got stuck to my girls
I’ve read that you can use paper kitty litter however that again seems too hard and I’d much rather find a bedding that is meant for guinea pigs. Thank you for taking the time to read, I look forward to reading the responses!
