Anybody Use Bamboo Chews?

[bruceandwillis]

I found this bamboo stick chews on Amazon, just bought them as a cheap add on to an existing order. My boys eat these things up like carrots. They play tug of war with me to get it out of my hands, and popcorn every time they get a new one. Just curious if anyone is aware these are okay for full on consumption by guineas. If not, I’m afraid I’ll have to ruin the fun and take them away for good.

I don't know anything about bamboo chews for small animals, but as bamboo has a tendency to splinter it isn't something I would risk giving my own guinea pigs to be honest.
I think natural wood chews would be a safer and better option - maybe your boys would also like those?

I know that guineas can have fresh Bamboo, in fact most people say they love it. Not too sure about dried bamboo though.

Hopefully someone else can shed some better light on this.

I've given toys made from dried bamboo to my chinchillas, they don't tend to eat things they chew though, just wreck them and throw on the floor.
Don't think I'd risk it with piggies due to them eating them/hurting themselves on the pieces once chewed.
As said above, wood chews etc would probably be better and safer for them.
