Hi Molly,
Thanks for your concern about the guinea pig. About a week ago, I signed up
on a guinea pig list called
[EMAIL PROTECTED] I have also spent a lot of time researching
guinea pigs sites. One thing that I learned is that guinea pigs are okay on
pine. The pigs can and do choke on Aspen bedding. Of course Cedar is bad for
them.
I just thought I would share what I have recently learned. There are a lot
of good piggy sites on the Net.
Ann-Marie.
