What kind of toys are guinea pigs most entertained with

#4. HIDEY HOUSES See the Accessories page for ideas and sources of hidey houses and tunnels for your guinea pig. They need to feel safe. The cavy cozies are a huge hit with piggies. Every guinea pig should have at least one wooden structure in their cage, either a wooden hidey house or a wooden tunnel. These are used for chewing (good for the incisors -- the molars need lots of hay) much more often than most "chew" toys. With more than one pig and a large enough cage, you should have one extra hidey house for the number of pigs in a cage. For example, 3 pigs should have 4 hidey houses. That allows for a neutral 'place' and more peace in the group. Once you have at least one wooden house, you can get more creative with additional places to hide, like towel tents.

#5. FRESH HAY and LOTS of it! If you just keep your hay in a hay manger or hay rack, try putting a big clump of hay in the cage, especially if it is fresh, green, great smelling hay! Nothing perks up a piggie more than a lot of fresh hay to run and play through and munch. It never fails to get them excited. Make sure it is high quality soft hay as straw-like hay can cause eye injuries. Make sure to remove any soiled hay daily and replace with fresh as it can stay damp and cause health problems. Don't forget hay is THE MOST IMPORTANT element in their diet.

Towel Tents

Cut up or fold larger bath size towels. Be sure to cut off any hanging threads. Towel tents in the corner make a great hidey hole that can be washed and don't take up too much room. You can just loop the towel through cage wires on the corner and secure with a safety pin or two. We use binder clips to secure the towels. 3 work great securing the tent in a triangular fashion to the grids.
