are these toys safe for piggies?

[Deleted member 154866]

my mom ordered a bunch of stuff for the piggies but she doesn’t know a lot about guinea pig health so i just wanted to make sure these are safe?
(the corn cob arch seems pinkish, not sure if it was dyed or not, and the balls are rattan)

My boys like and play with those balls. They mostly destroy them. Mine also play with toilet paper rolls, which is what the other toys look like.

oo ok, thankyou also the other thing is a dried corn cob arch!

When I’ve given mine corn on the cob they always leave the cob. So it should be ok to sit under or climb on as I don’t think they will eat it.

ok! also u can’t really tell from the photo but the cobs seem to be dyed slightly pink, is that something to be worried about?

Personally I avoid anything that seems to have been dyed.

When mine have corn on the cob they don't eat the cob but they do enjoy having a good chew on them for as long as I tolerate leaving them in the cage. Normal wicker balls are a big hit and get destroyed very quickly.

yeah that makes sense, thank you!

Plain willow balls are fine (the brown ones you can get) but I’d personally not use anything in this picture.

A huge pile of hay to burrow in goes down well with my lot

Sprinkle a bit of forage into that pile of hay and if they had tails, they would be wagging!
