Nibble Sticks - Are These Ok?

[Adele waters]

I brought some flavoured nibbled sticks online for my guinea pigs, but not realising that on the packaging it says for - mice, rats, gerbils and hamsters.

Will these be ok for guinea pugs :/

You may find that your piggies are not very interested. Have a look at our toy thread at the top of the Daily Care section for ideas - thankfully, the biggest hits are free or very cheap, like hay filled toilet roll inners or brown paper bags!

Ok i'll have a look.

And thankyou for the profile advice. I wasn't too sure how to make the image appear within my thread.

Hay filled toilet rolls are always a hit with ours, sticks and a willow ball got ignored lol

 

[Bekki]

ditto that. Mine love paper bags and shoe boxes too stuffed with goodies.

Yep loo rolls and paper bags with ours too, aswell as a huge pile of hay to dive in.

I've already got a loo roll as my brother gave me that idea from doing it with his rabbit D But never thought of putting hay inside. - Great idea! Given the sticks to my sisters hamster

 

[Wiebke]

If you really want fun, you put hay filled toilet rolls on a string, so they hang just within reach of your piggies!

 

[Adele waters]

Ohh i love that idea ! Cost effective as well.

 

[Wiebke]

Please make sure that you only use soft hay for stuffing toys with, as otherwise there is the danger to eye pokes.

 

[Adele waters]

Ok.

The only thing my Piggies seem remotely interested in are: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rosewood-Bo...d=1390503036&sr=8-22&keywords=guinea+pig+toys

You can get them in a pack of three - two have gone missing but I'll probably find them on clean out day. I was surprised how well my five took to them really.

They should be fine for them. If you want to be sure check the ingredients on the back of the packaging.
You may find though that they are not very interested.
