Fleece or paper? The best guinea pig bedding, especially for long-haired breeds that need a clean coat.
Two good routes: washable fleece liners (cozier, cheaper over time, and much better for long coats) or a soft paper bedding. Never use cedar or pine shavings, the oils irritate their lungs. For long-haired pigs, fleece keeps that skirt far cleaner than loose bedding.
Our top pick for long-hairs. A fitted, absorbent fleece liner with a built-in pocket, just shake out and wash.

Check price on Amazon ›How to choose: for long-hairs, fleece keeps the coat clean and costs less over time (you just wash it). For paper, pick unscented, dust-extracted and highly absorbent. Whatever you use, spot-clean daily and do a full change weekly.
