Guinea Pig Bedding in the Guinea Pig Webshop

Discover the ideal ground cover for your beloved Guinea Pigs at DRD Rodent Shop®, the online Guinea Pig Webshop with a wide selection of high-quality ground covers!

In the wild, guinea pigs walk on soft surfaces. Their feet are therefore not made for hard ground covers. The guinea pig's feet can be damaged by hard ground covers, but also by a damp surface. Guinea pigs also do not tolerate dust well. The animals' airways can be irritated by dusty ground covers. It is therefore important that the ground cover for guinea pigs meets the following requirements:

✔ absorbs well✔ is dust-free✔ is soft for the paws

Guinea Pig Bedding should be well absorbent

One of the most important criteria that the ideal bedding must meet is excellent absorption. A good bedding absorbs moisture effectively, resulting in a dry and comfortable living environment for your Guinea Pigs. At DRD Rodent Shop® we offer a range of bedding options that are specifically designed to meet this need. Whether it is hay, sawdust or other high-quality materials, our Cavia Webshop has everything you need to create a comfortable home for your little friends.

Guinea pig bedding must be dust-free

Another essential aspect when choosing the right bedding is avoiding dust. Guinea pigs are sensitive to dust, and exposure can lead to irritation of their respiratory tract. A dust-free bedding is therefore essential to ensure the health of your Guinea pigs. In our Guinea Pig Webshop you will find a selection of dust-free bedding that has been specially designed with the well-being of your rodents in mind.

The ground cover should be soft for the paws

In addition, it is important that the substrate is soft for the paws of your guinea pigs. A soft surface prevents paw problems and offers extra comfort to these curious and playful animals. At DRD Rodent Shop ^® we understand the importance of softness, which is why you will find various options in our Cavia Webshop that meet this requirement. From natural fibers to special soft materials, we have the ideal substrate for your guinea pigs.

How high should be the bedding for guinea pigs?

But how do you determine the ideal height of the substrate for your guinea pigs? It is advisable to offer a layer of substrate of at least a few centimetres. This allows your guinea pigs to dig and tunnel naturally, which stimulates their natural behaviour. In addition, a sufficiently deep layer offers protection and insulation, making your guinea pigs feel safe and secure.

Does the entire Guinea Pig enclosure need to be filled with bedding?

For guinea pigs, it is possible to choose to fill the entire enclosure with a ground cover, but increasingly, guinea pigs are only given a cover in the form of a hemp mat. Guinea pigs can also be made very clean. The best place to place the toilet is near the hay rack.

At DRD Rodent Shop ^® we strive for the highest quality in all our products, and our bedding is no exception. In our Cavia Webshop you will discover a wide range of different types and brands of bedding, all carefully selected to meet the specific needs of your Guinea Pigs. Whether you choose wood shavings, paper or another variant, you can trust that you will receive the best quality for an attractive price.
