Best guinea pig bedding?

[Nats Chickens]

Hi, I was wondering what the best guinea pig bedding is? Don't include peanut shells or hemp. We got oaten hay last time but it gave me really bad hayfever. Any suggestions?

Have you tried pine?

Fleece. Make (or I can hook you up with some one on Etsy who makes them) at least two that fit the cage. I have my son shake it out daily and I wash one while the other is in the cage. By far the most vet recommended bedding--second place is that paper stuff you buy at pet stores. But a guinea pig needs to eat a LOT of timothy hay to stay healthy. I don't think you can get around that. (My son takes zyrtec, lol!)

Ours are on a hayfree diet because of my hayfever, but they get fresh grass instead, living outside. I may try fleece but just bought a bale of pine shavings so will see how that goes....
