So, my guinea pig has been chewing on her plastic igloo house a lot lately. And I don't know how to keep her from chewing on it. I don't want her to continue chewing on it, but it's the only house she has at the moment. I have things in her cage that she can chew on. I personally don't think it's healthy for her to chew on the plastic. What should I do?
 
Some piggies are just chewers, I'm afraid. Has the vet checked her teeth lately? All you can really do is ensure that she has plenty of hay to try to keep her distracted.

If you are concerned about the plastic, then perhaps you could change to a wooden hidey?
 
I would remove it and use a cardboard box until you can get a wooden one. Zooplus have nice ones.
