Guinea Pig Bedding

My kids have guinea pigs. We use a natural fiber bedding. Can the soiled bedding be used in the compost pile?

Since the guinea pigs are vegetarians, I don't see any reason that their bedding cannot be composted and used. Would be similar to using rabbit bedding & manure.
Back in my youth I worked one summer for a guinea pig farmer, and all of the manure & bedding from those cages went on the fields for fertilizer. And, a very good fertilizer it was!
