Fleece has gained in popularity in recent years as a bedding for guinea pigs. It’s very soft, reusable and hygienically safer than other types of bedding. Fleece as bedding is also comfortable as environmentally friendly and cost effective. ] (]) 10:27, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Dear Misplaced Pages Editorials,
I am writing to bring to your attention a broken link on one of your page at https://en.wikipedia.org/Guinea_pig. While browsing your website, I noticed that the link to a specific article is no longer functioning properly. The article in question is http://cfhs.ca/athome/guinea_pigs, and it appears to be leading to an error page.
As a solution, I would like to suggest replacing the broken link with an active and informative article that I have recently written on the same topic. The article is titled “https://petearnest.com/why-guinea-pigs-are-good-pets/”, and it provides comprehensive and up-to-date information on the subject matter.
I believe that this article will serve as an excellent replacement for the broken link and will provide valuable information to your readers. I would be happy to provide any additional information or assistance that you may require to make this change.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing back from you soon.
Sincerely,
PetEarnest ] (]) 14:34, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
