Chewing - normal or a problem?

[CinnamonSmokey121]

Hi all

My babies are doing well (touchwood) and are getting much tamer and seem happy

However, the last couple of days Smokey has been chewing things a lot, including the cage bars when looking for a treat but recently she's done this to their bottle!

Is this normal? She's putting on weight and eating plenty of hay, veg and her food...

Hmm, she might be bored, I reccomend getting another guinea pig if you haven't already, getting a good sized cage, like the midwest cage and if you have all those things you might just need to try more chew toys, my guinea pigs love little chew puffs which you can find, also cardboard is a chew toy favorite. It is also easy to make since you just cut out a rectangle and very cheap.

It’s perfectly normal for piggies to chew As mentioned above, try giving them cardboard to chew
