Hello and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Unfortunately, when I try to enlarge the photo, it is too pixilated to see the fine print and learn what it is. I would recommend to compare the ingredients. If it's a dusk free bedding, it's likely fine to use it. Please write again if you have any questions!

You will find negative reviews of almost every product if you look long enough. Aspen, CareFresh or kiln dried pine shavings are all acceptable choices for bedding. Use what works best for you and your chin and is easy to buy.

Thanks for reaching out. Sound like you have a full house. 1. Birds will often bond together but continue to work with them in a quiet environ, offering treats to win and re-enforce trust. Toys, the radio or tv, can all assist with boredom. Setting up foraging toys so birds need to spend time looking for food. 2. There is no such thing as too big a cage. 3. Heating rocks are rarely approved for use, as they will eventually become faulty and get too hot, potentially damaging the animal. A heat lamp is recommended. 4. The bunny's litter box should be spot cleaned daily and full clean weekly. If you can smell it you waited too long. Good luck.

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.
