Many of you were around about 3 years ago when we welcomed another pet to the family.
It was Gibby the guinea pig and he was Bobby’s dream pet.
I’ve was super excited to welcome Gibby to the family and I knew that even though Gibby was Bobby’s pet, I would eventually become the sole care taker and we would have so much fun.
That’s the way it goes with kids. It went that way with me when I was little and I expected it go that with Bobby…..and it did for a little bit but then I became allergic to Gibby.
It started off minor with just sneezing, then swollen eyes and it has now built up to me not being able to be in the same room with the pig for longer than 10 minutes or I start to wheeze and have trouble breathing.
True story.
A few weeks ago I about killed myself when I tried to clean his cage.
So anyway, Bobby has no choice now but to be the sole caregiver of Gibby but that’s not to say I don’t help.
I do my best to supply Bobby with all things that Gibby needs to stay healthy such as hay, pellets, greens, toys and most importantly good bedding.
Good bedding is actually the key to me being able to spend time in Bobby’s room, cleaning it for 10 minutes at a time.
I use Carefresh bedding from Healthy Pet.
Now with even better odor control and absorbency, CareFRESH’s premium soft bedding, made from natural cellulose fibers, is safe and comfy for all small pets.
- Variety of options – Natural, Ultra, Colors and Confetti options make decorating your pet’s habitat fun. Choose one, switch it up or create your own combinations.
- Safe for pets and families – Non-toxic, low dust, and colors will not run or stain
- Outstanding odor control – Controls odor 3x longer than the original, for longer lasting freshness and more time between cage changes

It’s been our go to bedding since we first brought Gibby home and it was recommended by our veterinarian and according to this nifty video, Carefresh is the number one selling small animal bedding brand AND they have a brand new species specific small animal bedding?
Yep. It’s the first of its kind and the guinea pig and rabbit custom bedding that we have is the perfect size for nesting, the bedding pieces are 25% larger for soft nests, 10 day odor control and is three times more absorbent than shavings.
FANTASTIC!
