Is it best to use towels and blankets for guinea pigs?

It's best not to use towels and blankets as bedding for guinea pigs, as they can become damp and unsanitary, leading to skin infections. Instead, it's recommended to use commercially produced bedding material specifically designed for small animals to prevent the risks that loose fibers create as they ingest loose parts. It absorbs moisture effectively, is dust-free, and often made from recycled paper or natural fibers like hay or wood shavings.
