I am thinking of what I want to do with the piggies housing... I want to use mdf and then put tiles on top of the mdf to make a nice durable floor that can easily be cleaned.
Now... Years and years ago, when I had my very first piggies, my father had bought me a children's sandbox and housed my piggies in that and yes, he had put sand. I quite remember the guinea pigs popcorning happily.
Would it be safe to put some play sand over the flooring? I think they would like to run in it and schuffle it around... It'd be very easy for me to clean as well since I could just sweep it all up. Also very good for my allergies...
They are on soil in nature right? I guess if sand isn't safe I could use soil? I'd much prefer sand though as I don't know how I feel about soil in the house. Plus, if sand gets wet, it's not as messy as soil and I think the piggies wouldget dirty rather easilyon soil.
Many people let the bunnies play in sand... I know Smores loves it. I'm guessing it should be safe. I don't think a guinea pig would eat the sand but I thought I would ask and get feedback from those with more experience
