Living Environment: bedding liners of fleece fabric is now common

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. WikidSpirit (talk) 10:27, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Such content would need to be cited to a a reliable source. And be careful of geography here. I would suggest that the current content on bedding is very US-centric, and this IS a global encyclopaedia. If we mention it, we should say where it occurs. HiLo48 (talk) 23:47, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 12 May 2023

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

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 Anurags499 (talk) 14:34, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

ADD “ Early accounts from Spanish settlers' state that Guinea pigs were the preferred sacrificial animal of the Inca people native to Peru. These claims are supported by archeological digs and transcribed Quechua mythology, providing evidence that sacrificial rituals involving Guinea pigs served many purposes in society such as appeasing the gods, accompanying the dead, or reading the future.
