Hi again,

Yes - you can use newspaper and magazines for bedding this is fine. You might want to put a few layers of newspaper down first and then the shredded stuff on top. Just keep an eye on them and if they seem to be eating it, then you may have to change to something else!

There are quite a few options available with regards XXXXX XXXXX pig bedding. Again, here is a good article if you wanted to read any more on this: http://www.guineapigwelfare.org.uk/guinea-pig-care/bedding/bedding-sources/

Kind Regards,

Dr Edwards

Not particularly - but if they eat enough, it could potentially cause an obstruction, so just keep an eye on them :-)

Thanks,

Dr Edwards
