I have guinea pig and I was wondering what kind of bedding is ok for them. The enclosure is large so I’m not sure if I wanna use that much paper bedding

You want to make sure to use a dust free bedding. The two that I recommend are Carefresh and Aspen pellets. Good ventilation and low dust are very important for the health of guinea pig lungs. Please feel free to post any additional questions.
