Question
do you have to have a certain kind of bedding for guinea pigs? my brother bought some Aspen shavings for his baby ducks and i wondered if i could use it for my dear guinea pig Luca. it talks about using it for guinea pigs on the back but then on the sheet i got with my dear Luca i think it said NOT to use Aspen.

Answer
I don't think its a good idea for you to use aspen or pine shaving for your guinea pig, it's bad for their lung.You might want to use the kind that are especially design for guinea pig  like the one that are made form recycle material will be more healthy for guinea pig.
