I ran out of bedding and my guinea pig has three 2 week old babies in the same cage as her and I don't know if it's okay or not so please tell me!

Yes but you have to let it sun out for at least 7 days before puting it in the cage if not it can make it sick.But because you have babbies you should a use Aspen bedding, pine is deadly to most rodents so don't use that.

No, it is not okay to use newspaper for bedding. The babies are two weeks old, which means they are nearly weened. So, if you can wait just a few more days, you can take the babies and the mother out and change the bedding. But, make sure it is actual bedding. You may also use unscented and uncolored toilet/tissue paper if you can't get to the store to buy bedding.

Please get some bedding. The newspaper is not absorbent enough to soak up all the pee from the mom and babies. They will be wet .
