What kind of toys are guinea pigs most entertained with

Good Luck!!

#1. ANOTHER GUINEA PIG (of the same sex) Guinea pigs are social, herd animals and are generally happier and healthier with another guinea pig. You see new behavior and a higher level of activity with two or more guinea pigs. If you get a friend for your guinea pig, MAKE SURE it is of the same sex or one in the pair is neutered or spayed. DO NOT rely on a pet store to determine the sex of a guinea pig.

#2. A BIGGER CAGE Guinea pigs love to run around, chase each other and play little games between themselves. If your cage is not big enough, then a larger cage should be your top priority! Read through all the testimonials if you don't think your guinea pig will be happier and have more fun in a bigger, roomier cage. Most of us start out making the same mistake of getting our first guinea pig at a pet store and usually buying the biggest pet store cage we can find thinking we are doing the best for our new pet. Now that you have found this site, hopefully you realize that even the biggest commercially available cages are just too small. Upgrading a too small cage should be a top priority.

#3. FLOOR TIME (see Floor Time) Even if you have a big cage, and especially if you don't, it is very important to the health and happiness of your guinea pig to get daily exercise. Floor time is more than lap time. It is providing a safe environment large enough for your guinea pig in which to run around and explore. Safe means protecting areas that your guinea may get into that he can't get out of, like behind refrigerators, inside chairs or sofas, behind immovable shelving, in walls, etc. It also means making sure wires are inaccessible, not just unplugged. Guinea pigs have been known to eat telephone cords and cause themselves major internal damage. Electrocution and fires from biting plugged in wires have also been known to happen.
