Topic: guinea pig compost

[littlegem]

i have 2 cavvies, i also have veggies growing, does anyone know, should i put my guinea pig toilet stuff down as mulch. its shredded paper and i should think quite wind bearing. or if anyone knows where it should go to do my veggies some good, my compost is rather full now

I used to be a bit reluctant to use my bedding raw because it contained a lot of seeds from their food.  Where it got on the lawn, I got all sorts of grasses and sometimes things like sunflowers.  Unfortunately though, I had to use my guinea pigs for compost earlier this year - they got some sort of virus which they both never got over  :(.

Our 2 guineas,Chocolate & Cinnamon, add to my compost heap!(But not in Redclangers way yet!) Not too sure that I would put it down as a mulch, though thinking about it why not cos they are veggies after all!  They are also our resident lawn mowers, and do an admirable job keeping my tiny lawn at bay! ;D (They fertilize as they go too!)

And what about used cat litter (the wood based variety)? I throw out bags of the stuff each day. I have often wondered if this is any use on the lottie as mulch (only that used for number ones!)
