Question
Hi I feed my guinea pigs kaytee forti diet and hagen guinea pig food along with alfalfa hay(they are still growing) and carrot chunks & romane lettuce daily is this a good diet?

I use yesterdays news fresh scent softer texture cat litter as bedding, I am trying out some carefresh bedding now, I change there cages twice weekly does this sound good?

Answer
Hello and thanks for the question,

The diet sounds good but I would not use cat litter as "bedding". GPs can be litter trained but the litter used for defecating should be in a small pan seperate from the bedding. I use pine wood chips and have never had an issue.

Thanks and good luck,
Ryan
