Toys for guinea pigs

[Eva121]

I was just wondering about what type of toys I can make for my guinea pigs. I have chew toys, and a willow ball but they don' pay much interest to those. There isn't any pet stores that sell guinea pig toys where I live, I only got the ones I have when I went to visit the States. I try to change up the decor in their cage as both of them love exploring. I hide treats and I let them out to run around. I just want to make sure they aren't bored all day in their cage. So, if anyone has any cool diy toy ideas please let me know!

Toilet paper roll tubes or an empty tissue box stuffed with hay and treats, basically anything that involves food lol. That and changing up the cage are the only things I have found that excite my piggies.

I recommend to have a look at the Guinea Pig Toy thread that @Veggies Galore has linked to and also at this guide here, which contains a list of unsafe toys and cage accessories: Potentially Dangerous Cage Accessories And Toys

They are both part of our new owners practical information and help collection: Getting Started - New Owners' Most Helpful Guides

A paper bag filled with hay or a box filled with hay
3 or 4 way hay tunnels
There’s a common theme here - hay excites my piggies

Paper bags and cardboard boxes are two favourites with Smokey and Bacon

Mine love a cardboard Amazon delivery box with 3 little doorways cut in it, filled with hay and cucumber slice quarters!

Mine have a bit of 4 inch pipe that my son got out of a skip when he was working on a building site. My piggies love running through it. A paper bag filled with hay and/or chickweed (grows in abundance in my garden) also goes down a treat.

My piggies love Amazon boxes as well! We don't know why they are so particular with it.

Oh and rearrange your setup (move beds/houses/tunnels/hideys) every now and then and they will think they are in a new place.
