Suggested bedding materials:

* Aspen, however be aware as it has no odor protection
* Care Fresh, is made from wood pulp and provides odor control
* Crown Pellet Bedding is a base of recycled newspaper  compressed into pellets and controls odors but use only as a layer underneath as it is very rough and your pet will appreciate something softer.
* Corn Cob Bedding is soft enough to use as  sole bedding but requires regular monitoring for mold growth.
* Timothy Hay is soft, sweet smelling, and is a food source for your guinea pig. Check out a local farm supply store or garden center for availability.

Materials to avoid using with your guinea pig:

• Pine shavings as this is a POISONOUS health hazard for guinea pigs.
• Cedar shavings are known to cause respiratory problems and should be avoided for all small pets.
• Straw has no absorbency for odor, is rough textured and can injure your pet
