Question
Hi there Greg i am wondering if we can compost ALL our guinea pig waste. By this i mean the news paper that is in their cages. I thought this may be a problem as it is soaked with urine. Do you think this would interfere with the compost mainly the uric acid???
Please let me know what you think.
                               Cheers Caroline.

Answer
Hello Caroline

This should pose no Issues at all. The Uric Acid is beneficial as well.

The Droppings of all Meat Eating Animals, including Humans, should always be avoided, even if the Human is a Vegetarian. I may have just gave you too much information here, but I do get THAT question asked.


The Best of Luck
