Oh ya! Which of these materials are safe for piggies to chew

They don't need or usually care for loads of toys. Loads of space with things to run around and through are good. See the Toys page on the main site for ideas. www.guineapigcages.com/toys.htm

IF i were to use an accessory, even if it was just a decoration, what materials are okay to use???

The toys my pigs like best are the simple ideas like cardboard rolls stuffed with hay and cardboard boxes (use plain brown ones with no staples, glue or tape on) turned upside down with little doors cut out. They also like chubes - cardboard tunnels made for small animals - which they can run through. All completely safe.

I certainly wouldn't use paint on anything you're making them - or put anything painted in the cage. It might make it look nicer to you but they won't be bothered by it and the least things like paint and chemicals you can use on anthing they have access to and will chew, the better! I don't put anything plastic or rubber in for my piggers either. Anything which they can potentially chew a bit off and possibly swallow some or make a rough edge they could injure themselves on, is best avoided.

A lot of people use wooden houses and accessories. Just avoid any treated with varnish, sealants or paint as they will chew on it. Use plain wood and don't paint anything on it.

All the best,
