Do guinea pigs need toys if so what types would be good for them

[JD In Van]

I supose that depends on you pigs. My boys like to 'redecorate' they move stuff around constantly. I don't think they care what it is so long as they can move it around. So I put stemmy hay in their houses so they can move it around to make a nest and toilet paper rolls (cut along one side) in the pen. When their dishes are empty they like to pull them around too and even move their houses around some times. I put a few cat toys in the pen too which they seem to push around now and then but aren't their favorite cause they can't pick them up.

Yeah Poppy just started wanting to crawl up under his hay while eating it I was wondering why he was doing that

Oh thank you so much I just got done reading that page and learned some new things !!!

Hmmm I never think of tubes and tents as 'toys' but I guess they are from the piggy's perspective.

I read in there that you could put like a brick or rough stone under water bottle for there nails and to maybe absorb water drips if I was to do this do I need to somehow clean the brick/stone first if so hows the best way to go about this ?
