All About Guinea Pig Bedding
Like 3 Dislike 0 Published on 10 Mar 2013
In this video I'm discussing various bedding options for guinea pigs. I have tried various types of bedding over the years, but I mostly focus on my top 3 choices in this video:
1. Vet Bed:
This is my all time favourite bedding. In my optinion it's the best bedding for guinea pigs. However there are some drawbacks which make it unfortunately unsuitable for me as an owner for the majority of my cage.
2. Easibed
This is a dust free wood fibre bedding typically used for horses. It's very soft and very absorbend. It's what I'm using at the moment and I get it from a local farm feed shop.
3. Fleece
Most of you will be familiar with fleece as bedding. It has many advantages and I used it for a number of years. One of the main reason I stopped using it is that it seems to cause eye issues for one of my skinny pigs.
I have personally used each of these three types of bedding and favour them above other types. The one I would recommend the most is vet bed. It's amazing stuff and even after many years still my favourite.

About the herd:
The Guinea Pig Herd consists of 11 female guinea pigs who all live together in a custom build enclosure in our dining room. They can jump out of their cage at all times and free range across our house. Our youngest guinea pig is 6 months old, our oldest ones are getting close to 5. All of our guinea pigs are short hair or hairless and breeds include rexes, himalayans and skinny pigs. They come from a variety of backgrounds such as pet shop rescue centres, free ads, guinea pig rescues and breeders. Their names are: Bonnie, Zoe, Cassandra, Monika, Fiona, Philippa, Barbarella, Lacie, Willow, Buffy and Frankie.
