Every now n then i would place crushed paper balls or paper bags in their enclosure, n i notice my guinea pig always eat them... Today I was particular shocked cuz they ate the entire paper bag I placed in it... This doesn't seem safe, is there any cause of concern I have to pay attention to?
Also, another thing I would like to ask if its okay to feed meadow hay (much thinner) instead of Timothy hay on a daily basis as I have been doing that for the past few mths as a pet store at my area sells it for a cheaper price.
 
My guinea pigs play in brown paper bags and have cardboard tubes. They chew/eat/destroy them. It is fine that they do this.

Meadow hay is absolutely fine to feed to them.
Any grass hay is fine as long as it isn’t dusty, is greeen and smells sweet (not mouldy)
