Would this be OK?

My guinea-pigs chew the newspaper in their hutch, and I thought to keep them entertained for a while tommorow, could I put a pile of newspaper in their shed for them to rip up and pull around?

Sounds good to me

i usually screw the newspaper up into a ball and they have great fun with it, it usually gets thrown around the cage

Sounds like a nice toy, but not sure about the typographical ink they will eat with the paper?

The inks in newspaper are all vegetable based and safe to eat - that's why they run when wet. They changed all inks across to safe inks a few years ago now - you can't get ink poisoning from eating any ink associated with humans! (The children at school used to tease each other about ink poisoning when they chewed the ends off pens so I went and looked it all up. I don't know quite why they changed the inks on newspapers, perhaps they were expecting humans to eat it!)

Piggies love newspaper! Mine play with theirs all the time, which gets on my OH's nerves!

My Fry and Nibbler love newspaper. Chewing it, ripping it, chucking it around the cage....anything really.
