Teresa did a great job on this site. In fact she was sweet enuf to let me borrow some pics for my site. There are some things on her site that I'd like to highlight.
Cedar
- DO NOT USE.
- Everyone agrees that cedar is TOXIC to guinea pigs and other small animals.
Corn Cob
- This bedding is generally not recommended as suitable for guinea pigs.
- It molds fairly quickly.
- Guinea pigs have been know to eat it. Particles can get stuck on food. If ingested and the guinea pig drinks water, it swells up and does not break down, creating a potentially serious blockage.
Pine
- Most people advise buying only "kiln-dried" pine. Some people argue all pine is "kiln-dried." It is not. Some pine is "air-dried."
- Pine gives off aromatic hydrocarbons (phenols) which is the problem with cedar. These points & more are also echoed on my website where I've featured bedding, their pics, adv & disadv. Teresa has also a links page at www.cavycages.com/pine.htm which links to numerous sites explaining why cedar/pine are harmful. I too have a list of these sites plus more at www.cyberpiggies.cjb.net/softwood.htm |

Any1 knows where to buy the stuff for building the cages (cubes and coroplast) in singapore? Try cyberpiggies.cjb.net & look under Housing. All the info is there. Even have the shop name & address of where u can get the cubes. Also have the contact person for Popular so u can tell her the exact size Coroplast u need before hand then go collect. |
