Yeah, that's fine or cedar bedding, or there's a bedding made from ground corn cobs. All are safe for guinea pigs. Just give them plenty to snuggle down in, and change it at least once a week. Maybe "scoop" the corner where it poops every 2-3 days.

The kind you have a link to is good, also white pine is good.
DO NOT use ceder, when the guinea pig pees on it, it gives off a poisonous gas and can give the guinea pig a upper respiratory infection and even cause death. When I first got a guinea pig I used ceder, it killed 2 adult guinea pigs and 3 babies that I had.

I am pretty sure that guinea pig bedding is the same as hamster bedding, do you might want to check that out.

It sounds ok. It is biodegradable and free from dyes, etc. If you are still not sure, then a very good type is all natural pine chips from the pet store or pine shavings. They love to chew that and it is just a tree shredded with no additives.

a feed store has awesome bedding at a cheaper price then a pet store,,,its bedding for chicken coops,,my guinnea pigs love it,,,
pine is bad for them it gives then an upset tummy,,and pointy bedding can jab them in the eye and could cost them there sight,,also a lot of vet bills,,,
