My 2 pigs like chewing on their plastic pigloo. I know it is advised that it should be removed when this happens but when I was new to guinea pigs I left it in and they were perfectly fine. Now I know more about piggies I thought i should ask here on the forum to see what you guys think I should do. They have always be fine with chewing on it and it has never caused them any health problems. Also, they do not chew on any wood things I provide!
 
guinea pigs eat everything they're not meant to. whilst its not good for them a little bit wont harm them.

i personally wouldn't use sprays just in case.

and most piggies dont touch wood chews but love fresh apple or pear braches (with or without a few leaves)

Ok! Thanks for your help! I wasnt to sure about sprays so I don't think I will use them just in case! X
 
I can vouch for the fresh apple branches. My piggies attack these as soon as I put them in the hutch!
 
I just let mine chew it. Nothing bad has happened to any four of them. They don't seem to eat the plastic, just gnaw on it.
 
Apple trees :)) but you've got to make sure they're not exposed to car fumes or anything else nasty. I get mine from my grandad's tree.
 
Hehe! Sorry for the dumb question! Don't have any apple trees near me so thats that idea gone :( I have seen those kiwi sticks somewhere .. does anyones guineas enjoy those?

I'm not sure if these are any good:

I have the wooden garlands you hang in cages and my piggies chew on them. I'm not sure if maybe its because they're hanging rather than just lying in their cage..

Ok thanks I will have look at these! I also have a hanging garland too, it has been chewed a bit when I first gave it them but they just ignore it now! They also have one of those woodlands wooden houses which they chew on a tiny bit which is good! Thanks for your help by the way!
