Are these toys/hideouts good for guinea pigs?

I'm interested in adopting 3 guinea pigs, will these be any good to put in their cage?

Could you please link some good hideouts/ toys for guinea pigs aswell since I would like to see the variety

The first two are fine. Although I tried the second one with some of my piggies and they refused to use it.

The third - the play sticks - are absolutely perfect, and are the type I use myself. it has two exits so nobody can get trapped inside.
However do make sure you are buying the largest size - some are only sized as suitable for hamsters

The carrot cottage is less of a hide and more of a toy. Mine absolutely love them but they don’t last long - it’ll be played with,, eaten and peed on within a short space of time.

The last one I would avoid. It’s best to have hides which have two ways out. If one piggy traps the other inside, it can cause defensive fights where one feels cornered

Mine have the spotty bed and the log tunnel, what they REALLY love is hammocks. I get these from Amazon. I have several as Dignified Sir George won't go in one that Mischievous Master Boris has been using as a toilet (he's very fastidious). The price is great and they wash really well. The blue and yellow set is the right size 35x35, some of the others are too small. They have other beds and hideys but my boys always sleep in the hammocks or out in the open and only ever play in everything else. It's really good that you are researching first.

Your pigges have amazing names

Carrot cottages are always a favourite here
The play sticks are great too, but I would definitely go for the large one as @Piggies&buns said, the others are too small

Thank you, they are collectively known as The Beastie Boys and have their own thread, as do many other pigs. The names sort of evolved to match their very individual and distinctly different personalities. Have you been reading through some of the threads on here? I love Feet out Friday.
