He should be fine. Just keep an eye on him for the next day or two and have him seen by a vet if you have any concerns
Hi
Guinea pigs like all rodents don't have a vomit reflex. lLease keep an eye on him for the next day or two and see a vet as an emergency at any point of the day or night if he suddenly looks very off and stops eating.
In most cases of plastic eating piggies of which we have seen quite a number on here over the years, you should however be OK so please don't panic.
