Here Are All the Best Guinea Pig Toys for Your Furry Friend

In addition to lots of alfalfa hay, plenty of vitamin C, and a sparkling clean cage, your cavy needs guinea pig toys to keep her happy, healthy, and well exercised. Guinea pigs may spend most of their day in a cozy hut in their cage or enclosure, but that doesn't mean they don't need to get out and have fun with your family just like any other pet. Active toys prevent boredom, and can even get them running around to help file down their claws, so you can trim them less frequently. Meanwhile, toys that go in their cages can keep them engaged while you're away.

Guinea pigs also need chews and treats to help wear down their teeth, which grow continually throughout their lives. Because guinea pigs make great starter pets, consider getting the kids involved in choosing which toys and treats will help enrich their relationship with their pet. A guinea pig ball, tunnel, chews, and other entertainment can all keep your guinea pig happy.
